Reaction Stoichiometry Vocabulary

Front

Reaction Stoichiometry

Back

The calculation of the quantities of reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction.

Front

Ideal Conditions

Back

Theoretical conditions under which a chemical reaction occurs with maximum efficiency, without any loss or side reactions.

Front

Percent Yield

Back

The ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield, expressed as a percentage.

Front

Limiting Reactant

Back

The reactant that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction, limiting the amount of product formed.

Front

Mole Ratio

Back

The ratio between the amounts in moles of any two compounds involved in a chemical reaction.

Front

Excess Reactant

Back

The reactant that remains after a chemical reaction has reached completion.

Front

Theoretical Yield

Back

The maximum amount of product that can be produced from a given amount of reactant, according to the stoichiometric calculations.

Front

Actual Yield

Back

The measured amount of a product obtained from a chemical reaction.
