1
Q
Stoichiometry:
A
A balanced chemical equation gives quantitative relationships between the amounts of reactants and products. The quantitative relationship between reactants and products in a chemical reaction is called reaction stoichiometry.
2
Q
Limiting reactant
A
Reactant that limits the amount of product that can be made.
3
Q
Theoretical yield
A
the amount of product that can be made based on the amount of the limiting reactant.
4
Q
Actual yield
A
the amount of product actually produced.
5
Q
Percent yield
A
the actual yield divided by theoretical yield times 100%.
6
Q
Enthalpy of Reaction
A
The amount of heat released or absorbed by a chemical reaction under conditions of constant pressure (ΔHrxn).
