Stoich Flashcards
1
Q
What is Stoichiometry
A
The quantitative analysis of chemical reactions
2
Q
Explain the difference between excess reactant and a limiting reactant
A
Excess reactants do not run out during a reaction. Limiting reactants run out during a reaction stopping the reaction. This is important because this determines the amount of product made in a reaction.
3
Q
Explain the difference between actual and theoretical yield, thinking of the labs we have done what are some ways that you could get over 100% or under 100%?
A
Actual or experimental yields are determined in lab and are subject to error. Theoretical yields are determined through stoichiometry and are perfect answers.
