Percentage Composition
The mass percentage of each element in the compound.
Empirical Formula
The formula of a substance written with the smallest integer subscripts.
Determining the empirical formula for a substance involves converting the masses of the elements to moles.

Steps to solving a limiting-reactant problem
1.Identify the limiting reactant.
2.Calculate the amount of product from the amount of the limiting reactant.
3.The smallest amount is all that can be made
How much product is synthesized in ideal conditions is called the
theoretical yield
The amount of product actually produced by a reaction (i.e., in the lab) will usually be less than the theoretical yield and is referred to as the
actual yield
percent yield formula
% of the chemical reaction=
(Actual yield/theritcal yield) x 100
