when the formula of a chemical equation Fe3O2 + Al = Al2O3 + Fe

What is the mole ratio of aluminum to oxygen
4:3
Which branch of chemistry deals with the mass relationships of elements in compounds and the mass relationships among reactants and products in chemical reactions?
Stoichiometry
What is the maximum possible amount of product obtained in a chemical reaction?
actual yield
What is the measured amount of a product obtained from a chemical reaction known as
actual yield
if no one knows the mole ratio of a reactant and product in a chemical reaction, one can
calculate the mass of the product produced from a known mass of reactant
To balance a chemical equation, it may be necessary to adjust the
coefficients
The study of the relationships between elements in a compound is
composition stoichiometry
a balanced chemical equation allows one to determine the
energy released in the reaction
Molar mass is expressed in the units
g/mol
In most chemical reactions the amount of product obtained is
less than the theoretical yield
Which reactant controls the amount of product formed in a chemical reaction?
limiting reactant
Stoichiometry problems aways require the use of
mole ratios
What is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield, multiplied by 100 called
percentage yield
When the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction is completely used, the
reaction stops
The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the
relative amounts of each substance present
in a percent yield calculation, the theoretical mass is larger than the actual mass
sometimes true
the limiting reactant is the one you have the smallest mass of
sometimes true
A chemist interested in the efficiency of a chemical reaction would calculate
the percentage yield
