Chapter 3 - stoichiometry Flashcards
How many atoms/molecules are in one mole?
6.022 x 10^23
What are the theories of John Dalton?
chemical compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine
chemical reactions involve the reorganization of the atoms
during chemical reactions, atoms involved are neither changed or created
What is percent composition?
compare the individual mass of the element to the total mass of the compound
what is the empirical formula
it is the formula of the simplest, whole-number ratio of the atoms of elements in a compound
what is the limiting reactant or reagent?
the reactant that runs out first
excess reactant
other reactants that have not completely been consumed
Theoretical yield
stoichiometry calculation of amounts of product formed based on limiting reactant
What is the actual yield
