Limiting Reactants and Percent Yield
Students will identify limiting reactants and calculate theoretical and percent yields for reactions.
Key Questions
- Identify the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction and calculate the amount of product formed.
- Differentiate between theoretical yield, actual yield, and percent yield.
- Analyze factors that contribute to a percent yield less than 100% in a laboratory setting.
