1.3.2 - PERCENTAGE YIELD Flashcards
What is limiting rwactay
A limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction and limits the amount of products formed.
The reactants that do not limit the amount product
What is stoichiometry
Stoichiometry :
The quantitative study of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
What js excess reactant
An excess reactant is the reactant that is present in a quantity greater than is required to completely react with the limiting reactant.
What is theoretical yield?
Theoretical yield is the amount of product that can be formed in a chemical reaction based on the amount of limiting reactant.
What is actual yield?
Actual yield is the amount of product actually obtained from a reaction.
How To find percentage of yields?
% yield = actual yield / theoretical yield

Determining Limiting Reactant
Summary of Stoichiometric Method
1. Write complete equation
2. Calculate moles of reactants, A and B.
3. Calculate amount of reactant B required to react completely
with reactant A
4. Compare the amount of B required with that available in the
system.
If B (present) > B(required)
If B (present) < B(required)
B = limiting reactant
B = excess reactant A = limiting reactant
