Understanding Stoichiometry in Chemical Reactions
Stoichiometry in chemical reactions involves mass changes, limiting reactants, and calculating yields like moles and grams. Learn to solve problems involving different reactants and products, determining the quantities involved in a reaction. Examples cover decompositions, formations, and calculations. Illustrations and analogies provide a clearer understanding of these concepts.

Limiting Reactant vs. Excess Reactants Limiting reactant is the reactant that runs out first In our examples, the limiting reactants will be the wheels in the bicycle analogy and the burger patty in our hamburger analogy When the limiting reactant is exhausted, then the reaction stops
Limiting Reactants Calculations 1. Write a balanced equation. 2. For each reactant, calculate the amount of product formed. 3. The reactant that resulted in the smallest amount of product is the limiting reactant(LR). 4. To find the amount of leftover reactant excess calculate the amount of the no LR used by the LR. 5. Subtract the calculated amount in step 4 from the original no LR amount given in the problem.

Percent Yield So far, the masses we have calculated from chemical equations were based on the assumption that each reaction occurred 100%. The THEORETICAL YIELD the maximum amount of product that can be produced in a reaction (calculated from the balanced equation) The ACTUAL YIELD is the amount of product that is actually produced in an experiment (usually less than the theoretical yield)
Percent Yield Theoretical Yield the maximum amount of product that can be produced in a reaction Percent Yield The actual amount of a given product as the percentage of the theoretical yield.
