Chapters 7,8 & 9.2 Flashcards
stoichiometry
the study of the quantitative relationships among the amounts of reactants used and the amounts of products formed in a chemical reaction
mole ratio
the ratio of the amounts (in moles) of any two substances in a balanced chemical equation
stoichiometric amounts
the exact molar amount of a reactant or produce, as predicted by a balanced equation
limiting reactant
a reactant that is completely consumed during a chemical reaction, limiting the amount of produce that is produced
excess reactant
a reactant that remains after a reaction is over
theoretical yield
the amount of produce that is predicted by stoichiometric calculations
actual yiel
the actual amount of product that is recovered after a reaction is complete
competing reaction
a reaction that occurs along with the principal reaction and that involved the reactants and/or products of the principal reaction
solution
a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
solvent
the component of a solution that is present in the greatest amount
solute
a substance that is dissolved in a solvent
aqueous solution
a solution that contains water
solubility
the maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given quantity of solvent at a specific temperature
saturated solution
a solution that cannot dissolve more solute
unsaturated solution
a solution that could dissolve more solute
