Stoichiometry
The calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions in chemistry.
Mole
The amount of substance that contains as many entities as there are atoms in 12 g of carbon-12.
Molar Mass
The mass of one mole of a substance, typically measured in grams per mole (g/mol).
Limiting Reactant
The substance that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is complete.
Excess Reactant
The substance that is not used up completely in a reaction.
Theoretical Yield
The maximum amount of product that can be produced from a given amount of reactant, according to the balanced chemical equation.
Actual Yield
The amount of product actually produced when the chemical reaction is carried out in an experiment.
Percent Yield
The percentage of the theoretical yield that was actually attained in a chemical reaction.
Mole Ratio
The ratio of moles of one substance to the moles of another substance in a balanced chemical equation.
Empirical Formula
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.
Molecular Formula
The formula that shows the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of a compound.
Avogadro's Number
The number of atoms, ions, or molecules in one mole of a substance: entities per mole.
Percent Composition
The percent by mass of each element in a compound.
Balanced Chemical Equation
An equation that has the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction.
Reaction Stoichiometry
The quantitative relationship between reactants and products in a balanced chemical reaction.
Combustion Analysis
A laboratory method used to determine the elemental composition of a compound by burning it and measuring the masses of the combustion products.
Molar Volume
The volume occupied by one mole of a gas at a given temperature and pressure, often assumed to be 22.4 L at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure).
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)
The condition under which the volume of a gas is often measured; 0 degrees Celsius and 1 atmosphere of pressure.
Stoichiometric Coefficients
The numbers used in a balanced chemical equation to show the proportion of reactants and products.
Law of Conservation of Mass
A principle stating that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations.
