Stoichiometry Flashcards
stoichiometry
the relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction
mole ration
the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation express the relationship of the number of moles of any 2 substances in the reaction
steps to solving a stoichiometry
- balance equations
- convert the given into moles if it isn’t already there
- use the mole ration
- convert the unknown into the requested units
limiting reactant
-the reactant in a chemical reaction that limits the amount of product that can be formed
-when you run out of the reactants the reaction stops
-the other reactant is said to in exces
limiting reactant=
need to big= limiting
excess reactant=
need to small= excess
Calculating excess formula
have-need to calculate your excess
have= stuff given
need= calculated amnt
mole ratio for the BCA table
going to over coming from
theoretical yield
the maximum amount of product that can be produced from the given amount of reaction
actual yeild
how much product is actually produced
percent yield formula
actual/theoretical x100
