| physical change | ice melting is an example of this kind of change |
| physical property | the state, size, or shape of a substance |
| actual yield | the amount of product that you can measure after a chemical reaction |
| limiting reactant | the reactant that is in short supply for a chemical reaction |
| percent yield | the ratio of actual yield to predicted yield times 100 |
| ratio | the numerical relationship between two objects or substances |
| predicted yield | the amount of product that should be produced in a chemical reaction |
