Default Metathesis Reactions / Limiting Reactant

I have a worksheet with several rxns asking us to write the Ionic and Net Ionic equations, along with the theoretical yield and limiting reactant.

For all the worksheets, the volume of the samples are the same (2ml). When calculating the theoretical yield for two substances that have different volumes, does it have to be compensated for?

Ex) When 2.0mL of 1.50M Ammonium Phosphate is mixed with 1.000mL of 0.750 Ferrous Acetate, a precipitate forms.

I have written the balanced chemical eqn and the net ionic eqn. As for the theoretical yield, I am unsure what to do with the differing volumes.

Any help would be appreciated. =)
