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
The substance that is not used up completely in a reaction
