Quantitative Chemistry · Stoichiometry

Reacting Masses and Yield

Calculating theoretical yields and understanding why 100 percent efficiency is rarely achieved.

Key Questions

  1. 1How can we determine which reactant will run out first in a chemical process?
  2. 2Why is the actual yield of a reaction almost always lower than the theoretical yield?
  3. 3What factors contribute to the loss of product during a multi step synthesis?
