actual yield
amount of product from a reaction determined experimentally
empirical formula
formula indicating the ratios of elements found in a compound in the lowest whole number possible
excess reactant
reactant that is not completely used up in a reaction
limiting reactant
reactant that is completely used up in a reaction, which determines the amount of product that can form
molar mass
mass of one mole of the atoms, molecules, or formula units that make up a substance
mole
amount of a substance that contains as many particles as 12 grams of pure carbon-12, equal to (Avogadro's number) particles
mole ratio
ratio between the number of moles of any two substances in a chemical reaction.
molecular formula
formula indicating the number of atoms of each type of element in a molecule
percent yield
actual yield divided by theoretical yield, multiplied by 100 percent
standard molar volume
volume occupied by one mole of an ideal gas at STP (standard temperature and pressure), equal to 22.4 L
theoretical yield
amount of product predicted from a reaction using mole ratios from the balanced equation
