| 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 |
