What is stoichiometry?
A way to measure the amount of reactants and products in a chemical reaction
What are the different ways to calculate stoichiometry?
Mole-to-mole, mass-to-mass, mass-to-volume, and volume-to-volume
What are limiting reagents?
The reactant that is used up first in a chemical reaction
What are excess reagents?
Reactants that are left over when the limiting reagent is gone
What is the theoretical yield?
Amount of product that would be produced if the limiting reagent completely reacted
What is the actual yield?
Amount of product actually produced in a reaction
What is the percent yield?
Ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield
