Stoichiometry
Stoichiometry Vocabulary TEK Chem 8E
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Composition Stoichiometry | involves the mass relationships with elements in a compound |
| Reaction Stoichiometry | involves mass relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction |
| Mole Ratio | ratio between the amounts in moles of any two compounds involved in a chemical reaction; can be determined by looking at the coefficients |
| Molar Mass | physical property defined as the mass of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound) divided by the amount of substance |
| limiting reactant | in a chemical reaction is the substance that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is complete |
| excess reactant | in a chemical reaction with greater amount than necessary to react completely |
| theoretical yield | the quantity of a product obtained from the complete conversion of the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction |
| actual yield | amount actually produced of a product in a complete reaction |
| percentage yield | percent ratio of actual yield to the theoretical yield |
| balanced equation | the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge are the same for both the reactants and the products |
| reactant | a substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction; left side of a chemical equation |
| product | a substance that is created during a chemical reaction; right side of a chemical equation |
