question
Coefficients
answer
ratios that represent the relative
number of molecules, atoms, or formula units in a chemical equation
that are needed to maintain the law of conservation of matter.
question
Mole Ratios
answer
Also called conversion factors, are the ratios created
from the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.
question
Steps for Calculating the Masses of Reactants and Products in
Chemical Reactions
answer
· Balance the equation for the reaction.
· Convert the masses of reactants or products to moles.
· Use the balanced equation to set up the appropriate mole ratio(s).
· Use the mole ratio(s) to calculate the number of moles of the
desired reactant or product.
· Convert from moles back to masses.
question
BCA Tables: Tables that are used to help organize stoichiometry
problems.
answer
· Only moles can go into the BCA Table
· Helps Visualize ratio
question
Limiting Reagent (Reactant)
answer
The reactant that limits the amount
of products that can be formed. It is used up first.
question
Reactant(s) in Excess
answer
The reactant(s) that is/are present after
the limiting reagent is used up.
question
Steps of Solving Stoichiometry Problems Involving Limiting
Reactants.
answer
· Write and balance the equation for the reaction.
· Convert known masses of reactants or products to moles.
· Using the numbers of moles of reactants or products and the
appropriate mole ratios, determine which reactant is limiting.
· Using the amount of the limiting reactant and the appropriate
mole ratios, compute the number of moles of the desired
product.
· Convert from moles of product to grams of product, using the
molar mass (if this is required by the problem.
question
%Yield
answer
(Actually Yield / Theoretical Yield) x 100
