Stoichiometry

• The calculation of quantities in chemical reactions is a subject of chemistry

• A conversion factor derived from the coefficients of a balanced chemical equation interpreted in term of moles

• Determines the amount of product that can be formed by a reaction

• The reactant that is not completely used up in a reaction

Mole ratio

• A conversion factor derived from the coefficients of a balanced chemical equation interpreted in term of moles

• The calculation of quantities in chemical reactions is a subject of chemistry

• The reactant that is not completely used up in a reaction

• Determines the amount of product that can be formed by a reaction

Limiting reagent

• The reactant that is not completely used up in a reaction

• Determines the amount of product that can be formed by a reaction

• The calculation of quantities in chemical reactions is a subject of chemistry

Excess reagent

• Determines the amount of product that can be formed by a reaction

• The calculation of quantities in chemical reactions is a subject of chemistry

• A conversion factor derived from the coefficients of a balanced chemical equation interpreted in term of moles

• The reactant that is not completely used up in a reaction

Theoretical yield

• The maximum amount of product that could be formed from given amount of reactants

• The amount of product that actually forms when the reactant is carried out in the laboratory

• The ration of the actual yield to the theoretical yield expressed as a percent

Actual yield

• The ration of the actual yield to the theoretical yield expressed as a percent

• The amount of product that actually forms when the reactant is carried out in the laboratory

• The maximum amount of product that could be formed from given amount of reactants

Percent yield

• The ration of the actual yield to the theoretical yield expressed as a percent

• The amount of product that actually forms when the reactant is carried out in the laboratory

• The maximum amount of product that could be formed from given amount of reactants
