reactants
the molecules on the left
products
the molecules on the right
if balancing really doesnt work
jsut use fractions and then get rid of them
reaction stoicheometry
using the coefficients from teh reaction equation in ordeer to calculate moles of a product and or the reactant
actual yield
the amount actually made
theoretical yield
the amount the equation says that you will make.
percent yield
actual/theoretical
limiting reagent
is the reactant that is limiting the max amnount of produciton (gets used completely)
find limiting reagent given grams of each
find percent yield given grams of each and actual yield
given g of reactants, and the % yield find the actual yield
given actual yield in g, % yield find grams of reactant
