A | B |
actual yield | the measured amount of a product obtained from a reaction |
composition stoichiometry | calculations involving the mass relationships of elements in compounds |
excess reactant | the substance that is not used up completely in a reaction |
limiting reactant | the reactant that limits the amounts of the other reactants that can combine—and the amount of product that can form—in a chemical reaction |
mole ratio | a conversion factor that relates the amounts in moles of any two substances involved in a chemical reaction |
percent yield | the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield, multiplied by 100 |
reaction stoichiometry | calculations involving the mass relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction |
theoretical yield | the maximum amount of product that can be produced from a given amount of reactant |
