The amount of a product produced by a chemical reaction compared to the amount of reactant.
What is yield?
Describes a chemical reaction using the formulas of all reactants and products.
What is a chemical equation?
Why is NaCl + H2O --> H2O + NaCl NOT a chemical reaction?
What is, because the atoms are not rearranged?
A description of a chemical compound using the letter designations of the elements. Give an example.
What is a chemical formula? Ex. H2O, CO2, HCl, H2SO4, NH4OH, etc.
What MUST happen for reactants to form products?
What is, reactants MUST come into contact with each other?
In a chemical reaction, how do the amounts of the reactants affect the amounts of products produced? Name TWO ways.
- As the amounts of the reactants increase, the amounts of the products produced also increase. - If one reactant is present in smaller amounts than another reactant, the amount of product produced will rely on the reactant present in lower quantities.
How do reactants interact to form products in a chemical reaction? Consider the atoms in the compounds.
What is, the bonds between atoms in the reactant molecules are broken and the atoms rearrange themselves to form product molecules?
