Chapter 9 Flashcards
Deals with the mass relationships of elements in compounds
Composition stoichiometry
Involves the mass relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction
Reaction stoichiometry
A conversion factor that relates the amounts in moles of any two substances involved in a chemical reaction
Mole ratio
The reactant that limits the amount of the other reactant that can combine and the amount of product that can form in a chemical reaction
Limiting reactant
The substance that is not used up completely in a reaction
Excess reactant
The maximum amount of product that can be produced from a given amount of reactant
Theoretical yield
The measured amount of a product obtained from a reaction
Actual yield
