FINAL - STOICHIOMETRY/REVIEW Flashcards
Converting to scientific notation
Positive powers to the ten count after first digit (eg. 299,700,000 = 2.997x10^8) & negative powers only count 0 (eg. 0.00000542 = 5.42x10^-6)
Accuracy
How close a measurement is to the true value
Precision
How close a measurement is to each other

Multiplication & division significant figure rule
Answer is the least number of significant figures
Addition & subtraction significant figure rules
Answer is the least number of decimal places
Whole number with no decimal point
Do not count 0 as a significant figure (eg. 540 = 2 significant figure)
Stoichiometric conversion
g –> mol –> atom/molecule
atom/molecule –> mol –> g
Theoretical yield
Maximum amount of product that can be attained in a chemical equation
Actual yield
Actual amount of product attained
Percent yield
Actual yield/theoretical yield x100
LR
Reactant fully consumed
ER
Reactant with left overs
