1. Problems with one quantity
2. Problems with two quantities
3. Problems with three quantities
One reactant and one product
Both are reactants
A.
This is a regular stoichiometry problem with one calculated quantity
(x)
B.
This is a percent yield problem; select the noted product for (x);
(x) is now called the theoretical yield.
C.
This is a limiting reagent problem; select a product for comparison (x) and set up two equations.
This is a
D. combination problem ; determine limiter, then use value for
(x) to calculate percent yield
Divide product value given in problem, now called the experimental yield by calculated (x)
Smaller value for (x) was created by limiter
