Composition Stoichiometry

Mole Ratio

A conversion factor that relates the amounts in moles of any two substances involved in a chemical reaction.

Composition Stoichiometry

Deals with the mass relationships of elements in compounds.

Reaction Stoichiometry

Involves the mass relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction.

Limiting Reactant

Reactant that limits the amount of the other reactant that can combine and the amount of product that can form in a chemical reaction.

Theoretical Yield

The maximum amount of product that can be produced from a given amount of reactant.

Actual Yield

The measured amount of a product obtained from a reaction.

Percentage Yield

The ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield, multiplied by 100.

Excess Reactant
