Avogadro’s Number
6.022 x 10^23
a reactant that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed. The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it
- determines the amount of the product that is formed
limiting reagent/reactant
the reactant in a chemical reaction with a greater amount than necessary to react completely with the limiting reactant. It is the reactant(s) that remain after a chemical reaction has reached
equilibrium.
excess reagent/reactant
is the amount of product obtained from the actual experimentation?
actual yield
is the amount of product obtained from the actual experimentation?
actual yield
the amount of product that would result if all the limiting reagent reacted.
theoretical yield
percent yield formula
actual yield/theoretical yield x 100
