actual yield
the amount of product you actually get from a chemical reaction
concentrated
a solution that has a lot of solute
concentration
how much solute is in a certain amount of solution
dilute
a solution that has very little solute compared to the solvent
Ideal gas law
a formula (PV=nRT) that shows how pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of gas particles are related
Ideal gas constant
(R)- a number used in the ideal gas law that helps relate the units
molarity
a way to measure concentration of how many moles of solute are in one liter of solution
percent error
how far off your measured value is form the correct value. show as %
percent yield
how much product you got compared to how much you should have gotten, shown as a percentage
precipitate
a solid that forms and falls out of a liquid during a chemical reaction
solute
the substance that is dissolved in a solution
solution
a mixture where something (solute) is dissolved in something else (solvent), like water
solvent
the substance that does the dissolving in a solution
theoretical yield
the maximum amount of product you could get from a chemical reaction, if everything goes perfectly
