Chemical Equations and Stoichiometry
- A balanced chemical equation is necessary for stoichiometric calculations
- The stoichiometric significance of a reaction involves the mole ratio of reactants and products
Molar Mass and Percent Composition
- The molar mass of a compound is calculated by summing the atomic masses of its constituent elements
- The percent composition of a compound is the percentage of each element by mass in the compound
Stoichiometric Calculations
- The number of moles of a reactant or product can be calculated using the mole ratio and the amount of the other reactant or product
- The mass of a reactant or product can be calculated using the molar mass and the number of moles
Limiting Reactant and Percent Yield
- The limiting reactant is the reactant that determines the amount of product formed
- The percent yield is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield, expressed as a percentage
Empirical and Molecular Formulas
- The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest whole-number ratio of the atoms in the compound
- The molecular formula of a compound is the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of the compound
