Reactants → Products
Reactants are the chemicals we mix together in the reaction.
Products are the substances being made by the reaction.
What does a symbol equation need to show?
The formula of the substances in the reaction.
How many molecules react with each other with a large number.
The number of atoms in each substance with small numbers.
Percentage Yield equation
Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield x 100
What is the Actual Yield?
The actual yield is the actual mass of product obtained in the experiment.
What is the Theoretical Yield?
The theoretical yield is the expected mass we could obtain if no product was lost along the way.
What is the Percentage Yield?
The percentage yield is a way of comparing both that will give an indication of the success of the experiment.
