What is Stoichiometry?
|
A branch of chemistry that deals with calculating quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions. "math with mole conversion factors"
|
|
|
What is the Theoretical Yield?
|
The maximum amount of product possible from a given amount of reactants.
|
|
|
What is the Actual Yield?
|
The amount of product actually obtained.
|
|
|
The actual yield is usually __________than or __________to the theoretical yield.
|
LESS than or EQUAL to
|
|
|
What are some reasons that the actual yield is less than the theoretical yield?
|
1. Difficulty collecting product (could be stuck in container)
2. Unwanted side reactions 3. Environmental problems (temperature or pressure problems) |
|
|
What is the Percent Yield?
|
The percent of the theoretical yield that can be isolated as product.
|
|
|
What is the formula for Percent Yield?
|
(Actual Yield/Theoretical Yield)x100%
|
|
|
What is a limiting reactant?
|
The reactant that determines how much product is made because there is less of it than is needed to completely react with the other reactants.
