the reactant present in the smallest stoichiometric amount

- the reactant you’ll run out of first

33
Q

What is the theoretical yield

A

amount of product calculated from a limiting reactant problem

34
Q

what is the actual yield

A

the amount of product collected from the experiment

35
Q

what is the % yield

A

the amount of the actual yield compared to the theoretical yield

36
