| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Mole ratios | T: ratio of moles or reactants and products in every balanced chm eq. B: Conversion factors based on balanced chemical equations. |
| Stoichiometry | Using a chemical equation to calculate the relative masses of the reactants and products of a reaction. |
| Limiting reactant | Reactant that limits the amount of products that can be formed. It's used first in a chm reaction. Ex. once methane is consumed no more products can be made. |
| Theoretical yield | B: Amount of product predicted for the amounts of the reactants used. T: Calculated from a limiting reactant problem. |
| Percent yield | Amount of the actual yield compared to the theoretical yield. Actual yield / theoretical yield x 100% |
| Stoichiometry calculations | calculations based on balanced chemical reactions to predict the cost of processes. |
| Law of conservation of mass | Mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction |
| Alloy | Mixture of elements. Ex. Steel (has iron + other elements) |
| Mass- mass stoichiometry problem | Used to convert the mass of a reactant or product to an unknown mass of reactant or product. |
| Actual yield | Amount of product collected from an experiment. |
