| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Composition stoichiometry | deals with the mass relationships of elements in compounds |
| reaction stoichiometry | involves the mass relationships between reactants and products in chemical reaction |
| mole ratio | is a conversion factor that relates the amounts in moles of any two substances involved in a chemical reaction |
| limiting reactant | is the reactant that limits the amount of other reactant that can combine and the amount of product that can form in a chemical reaction |
| excess reactant | the substance that is not used up completely in a reaction is called the excess reactant |
| theoretical yield | is 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 is called the actual yield of that product |
| percentage yield | is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield, multiplied by 100 |
