Study Notes
Composition Stoichiometry
- Relates to the mass relationships of elements within a compound.
Reaction Stoichiometry
- Focuses on mass relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions.
Mole Ratio
- A conversion factor used to compare quantities of two substances in a chemical reaction.
Limiting Reactant
- The substance that restricts the extent of a reaction and determines the amount of product formed.
Theoretical Yield
- Represents the highest possible amount of product obtainable from a specific amount of reactants.
Actual Yield
- The actual quantity of product produced in a reaction, often less than the theoretical yield.
Percentage Yield
- Calculated by (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) x 100, indicating the efficiency of a reaction.
Calculation Example
- 13.0 moles of Al2O3 produce 19.5 moles of O2.
Stoichiometry Overview
- Describes the quantitative relationship between substances involved in a reaction or compound formation, based on whole number ratios.
Mole Ratio Usage
- Enables the comparison of amounts of substances to determine how much of one substance is needed for a reaction to proceed.
Ideal Reaction Conditions
- Under optimal conditions, all reactants fully convert into products.
Reasons for Less Actual Yield
- Impurities in reactants or formation of byproducts can reduce yield.
- Many chemical reactions do not proceed to completion.
Distinction Between Yields
- Theoretical yield is the calculated maximum product quantity, while actual yield is the measured output from the reaction.
