Calc Chem Equations
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Stoichiometry | The area of chemistry that deals with quantitative relationships among reactants and products |
Molar mass | The sum of the atomic masses of all atoms in at element or compound |
Mole ratio | A ratio between the number of moles of any two species involved in a chemical reaction. |
Limiting reactant | Limits the amount of product that can be formed. |
To identify the limiting reactant in a reaction: | - Calculate the amount of product formed for each reactant. - Determine the limiting reactant by selecting the one that gives the least amount of product. |
Theoretical yield | The calculated amount of product that can be obtained from a given amount of reactant. |
Actual yield | The amount of product that we finally obtain experimentally. |
To determine the actual amount of product formed in a limiting reactant situation: | - Calculate the amount of the other reactant needed to react with the limiting reactant. - Subtract this amount from the original amount of the other reactant to find the amount of excess reactant (untracked) |
Percent yield | - The ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield multiplied by 100. - Actual yield / Theoretical yield x 100 |
Mole-Mole Calculations | Convert the moles of starting substance to moles of desired substance. |
Mole-Mass Calculations | - Convert the moles of starting substance to moles of desired substance. - Convert the moles of desired substance to grams. |
Mass-Mass Calculations | - Convert the quantity of starting substance to moles. - Convert the moles of starting substance to moles of desired substance. - Convert the moles of desired substance to the appropriate unit. |
