Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry · Chemical Reactions

Stoichiometric Calculations

Using balanced equations to calculate theoretical yields and identify limiting reactants in a system.

Key Questions

  1. 1How do limiting reactants determine the maximum amount of product a reaction can yield?
  2. 2Why is the actual yield of a reaction often less than the theoretical yield?
  3. 3How can stoichiometry be used to optimize industrial chemical processes?
