Key Questions:
How do you solve problems relating mass, moles, number of representative particles or liters of gas at STP between any two substances involved in a chemical reaction?
How do you determine the limiting and excess reactant of a reaction given the starting amounts of each reactant?
How do you determine the theoretical yield of a reaction given the starting amount of each reactant?
How do you determine the percent yield of a reaction given the actual yield and starting amount of each reactant?
How do you determine the amount of excess reactant leftover after a reaction ?
How is the empirical formula of a hydrocarbon determined based on the amount of products produced?
Determine the purity of a mineral based on the products produced in a reaction with a known quantity of another substance (multi-step stoichiometry problem)
Essential Vocabulary:
