stoich Flashcards
percentage yield
what you produce experimentally, compared to what was theoretically possible
theoretical yield
quantity of product expected to be produced if everything goes perfectly
experimental yield
the quantity of product actually produced
percentage yield equation
experimental/theoretical x 100%
limiting reagent
reactant that limits the quantity of product formed
excess reagent
reactant that still has some quantity remaining once the reaction is done
stoichiometry
the study of relationship between quantities of reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction
what is the relationship in stoichiometry?
molar coefficients of the balanced chemical reaction
mole ratio
“stoichiometric ratio”; given by the coefficients of the BCR
Gravimetric stoich solves for…
a chemical’s mass
general idea of gravimetric stoich
- given mass –> moles
- connect given moles –> required moles
- required moles –> mass
pH curve
graphical representation of the progression of an acid-base titration
how is the pH curve obtained?
performing a titration of one reactant into a sample flask of the other reactant
if the tip of the burette is perpendicular, then..
the tip is closed
if the tip of the burette is parallel, then..
the tip is open
