Chapter 12 Flashcards
What do a balanced equation and a recipe have in common?
The same type of quantitive data.
What do chemists use balanced equations for?
As a basis to calculate how much reactant is needed or product formed in a reaction.
What do you need to get the rest of an equation?
The quantity.
Stoichiometry
Bookkeeping
How can a balanced chemical equation be interpreted?
In different quantities including numbers of atoms, molecules, or moles; mass; and volume.
STP
22.4
Are mass and atoms conserved in every chemical reaction?
yes
Avogadro’s number
6.022x10^23
Mole Ratio
Conversion factor derived from the coefficients of a balanced equation interpreted in terms of mass.
Limiting Reagent
Determines the amount of product that can be formed, is used up.
Excess Reagent
Reaction not completely used up.
Theoretical Yield
The max amount of product that could be formed from given amounts of reactants.
Actual Yield
Amounts actually gotten in the reaction.
