A conversion factor that relates the amounts in moles of any two substances involved in a chemical reaction.
What is mole ratio?
CO2 + 2LiOH --> Li2CO3 + H2O How many moles of lithium hydroxide are required to react with 20 mol of CO2?
What is 40 mol LiOH?
Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2 How many grams of hydrogen will be produced if we start with 2 moles of hydrochloric acid and excess magnesium?
What is 2 g H2?
N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3 In the reaction above, a student reacted 28 g of nitrogen with an excess of hydrogen. According to the students measurements, the reaction produced 30 g of product. The theoretical yield was 34 g. What is the student's percent yield?
What is 88%?
The measured amount of product obtained after performing a chemical reaction.
What is actual yield?
6CO2 +6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 How many moles of carbon dioxide are needed to react with 3.25 mol of water in the reaction described above?
What is 3.25 mol CO2?
Avogadro's number.
What is 6.022 x 10^23?
The reactant that determines the amounts of the other reactants that can combine--and the amount of product that can form--in a chemical reaction.
What is the limiting reactant?
2Mg +O2 --> 2MgO How many moles of magnesium oxide are produced from 1.2 moles of magnesium?
What is 1.2 mol MgO?
How many moles are present in 34 grams of Cu(OH)2?
What is 0.35 mol Cu(OH)2?
The ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield, multiplied by 100.
What is percent yield?
Write the complete balanced equation for the following reaction (include states): When lithium hydroxide pellets are added to a solution of sulfuric acid, lithium sulfate and water are formed.
What is: 2LiOH (s) + H2SO4 (aq) --> Li2SO4 (aq) + 2H2O (l)
States that mass is neither created nor destroyed during ordinary chemical or physical reactions. (This is why we balance chemical equations!)
What is the law of conservation of mass?
