Limiting reactant
Reactant that limits the amount of product you can make
Theoretical yield
Amount of product that can be made with the limiting reactant
Actual yield
Actual amount of product produced
Percent yield
-Percent of actual product produced.
-Actual/Theoretical * 100
Excess reactant
-Remaining product after finding limiting
-LR mol * ER mol equation/ LR mol equation = Used ER
OG ER- Used ER
