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