Quantifying Chemistry: Stoichiometry · Stoichiometry
Limiting Reactants and Percent Yield
Identifying which reactant runs out first and why actual yields often differ from theoretical yields.
Key Questions
- 1How do we identify which reactant limits the amount of product that can be made?
- 2Why is the actual yield in a lab almost always less than the theoretical yield?
- 3How can chemical engineers optimize a reaction to minimize waste?
