combustion reactions emit
heat
the heat from the combustion of gasoline expands the gaseous combustion products in a car engine’s cylinders, which
move the car
the coefficients in a chem equation specify the relative amounts in ____ of each of the substances involved
moles
the numerical relationships between chemical amounts in a balanced chem equation
stoichiometry
limiting reactant
reactant that limits the amount of products in a chem reaction (makes least amount of product)
in excess
the reactants that do not limit the amount of product
theoretical yield
the max amount of product that can be made based on the limiting reactant
actual yield
amount of product actually produced
the actual yield is always ___ or ___ than the theoretical yield
= or less
percent yield
% of the theoretical yield that was actually attainted
% yield formula
actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%
