why must equations be balanced
law of conservation of matter
law of conservation of matter
matter can neither be created nor destroyed only change forms
steps when doing stoichometry equation
1)write equation
2)balance it
3) find #mol
4)find limiting reactants
percent yield
actual amount/ideal amount
what do all calculations in stoichiometry involve
limiting reactant
why are percent yields often lower than ideal yield
-measuremnet error
-side reactions
-unreacted reactants
