6.6 + 6.7 Flashcards
Law of conservation of mass
matter can’t be created or destroyed
mole-mole factor
ratio of moles for any two substances in an equation
Theoretical yield
max amount of product
how is theoretical yield calculated?
calculated with a balanced equation
actual yield
amount of product obtained when reaction takes place
percent yield
ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield
formula for calculating percent yield?
percent yield= (actual yield(g) / theoretical yield(g)) x 100
limiting reactant
substance in chemical reaction that is used up first which limits amount of product formed
excess reactant
left over from limiting reactant
What are the 3 conditions for a chemical reaction to occur?
- Collision
- Orientation
- Energy
Collision
reactants collide
Orientation
reactants align properly to break/form bonds
energy
collision provides energy of activation
Activation energy
amount of energy required to break bonds between atoms of the reactants
What happens if energy of collision is less than energy of activation?
molecules bounce apart without reacting
