Stoichiometry and the Mole Concept · Stoichiometry

Limiting Reactants and Percent Yield

Calculating theoretical yields and identifying the reagents that restrict chemical production.

Key Questions

  1. 1Why do chemical reactions rarely produce 100 percent of the theoretical yield?
  2. 2How do we identify which reactant will be consumed first in a process?
  3. 3What are the economic and environmental implications of low reaction yields?
