Chapter 10 - Stoichiometry

Question 1

When the relative amounts of two reaction components are expressed as a ratio.

Answer 1

Mole ratio

Question 2

The ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield, expressed as a percentage.

Answer 2

percent yield

Question 3

Calculations involving the relative amounts of various reactants and products that participate in a chemical reaction.

Answer 3

Stoiciometry

Question 4

The reactant that is initially present in a greater amount than
will eventually be reacted. It is the one left over.

Answer 4

excess reactant (or excess reagent)

Question 5

The amount of product that is actually formed when the reaction is carried out in the laboratory.

Answer 5

actual yield

Question 6

The maximum amount of product that could be formed from the given amounts of reactants.

Answer 6

theoretical yield

Question 7

The reactant that determines the amount of product that can be formed in a chemical reaction. It is the one that runs out first.

Answer 7

limiting reactant (or limiting reagent)
