chemistry terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| mole | The amount of substance contained in 6.022 x 10 23rd particles |
| Avogadro's number | 6.022 x 10 23rd |
| molar mass | mass of one mole of any pure substance |
| structural formula | type of atoms involved, the exact composition of each molecule and the arrangement of chemical bonds |
| molecular formula | types and numbers of atoms involved as they appear in the molecule |
| empirical formula | tells what elements are present and give the simplest whole -number ration of atoms in the compound |
| percent composition | describes the mass composition of a compound by showing what percentage of its total mass comes from each element. |
| law of definite composition | the ratio of elements in a comound is constant for every particle in that compound |
| stoichiometry | mathmatical relationships between the amounts of reactants and the products in a chemical reaction |
| mole ratio | the coefficients from the balanced equation give the ratios between the moles of one substance and the moles of another substance |
| limiting reactant | when one reactant is used up before the others which prevents more products from forming |
| excess reactant | leftover substances one or more in its unchanged original states |
| theoretical yield | maximum amount of product that could be created from a given amount of reactant |
| actual yield | the measured amount of product at the end of a reaction usually expressed in grams of the product |
| percent yield | percentage of the theoretical yield that was actually produced calculations done by taking ration of the actual yield divided by theoretical yield x 100% |
