Terms | Definitions |
---|---|
actual yield | The amount of product that forms when a reaction is carried out in the laboratory. |
excess reagent | A reagent present in a quantity that is more than sufficient to react with a limiting reagent: any reactant that remains after the limiting reagent is used up in a chemical reaction |
limiting reagent | Any reactant that is used up first in a chemical reaction; it determines the amount of product that can be formed in the reaction |
percent yield | The ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yeild for a chemical reaction experssed as percentage; a measure of the effciency of a reaction |
stoichiometry | That portion of chemistry dealing with numerical reationships in chemical reactions; the calculation of quantities of substances involved in chemical equations |
theoretical yield | The amount of product that could form during a reaction calculated from a balanced chenical equation; it repersents the maximum amount of product that could be formed from a given amount of reactant |
