|
mole
|
|
the mass of 2 mole of units

reactants
|
|
the substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction
|
product
|
|
the uantitative study of reactants and products in a chemical reaction
|
stoichiometry
|
|
the stoichiometric coefficients in a chemical equation can be interpreted as the number of moles of each substance
|
mole method
|
|
in the proportions indicated by the balanced equation
|
stoichiometric amounts
|
|
the reactant used up first in a reaction

limiting reagent
|
|
the reactants present in quantities greater than necessary to react with the quanitity of the limiting reagent
|
excess reagent
|
|
the amount of product that would result if all the limiting ragent reacted
|
theoretical yield
|
|
the amount of product actually obtained from a reaction

avogadro's number
|
|
what are the reasons why actual yield is less than theoretical?
|
1.Mechanical. sticks to glassware
2,Reaction not go to completion-some reactant remain unchanged 3.Evaporation of volatile chemical 4.Filtration-some solids pass through filter 5. Side or competing reactions 6.Human error |
