limiting reactant


the reactant that gets consumed first in a chemical reaction

excess reactant


a reactant present in an amount in excess of that required to combine with all of the limiting reactant

percent yield


a measure of the quantity of moles of a product formed in relation to the reactant consumed expressed as a percentage

actual yield


the amount that is actually produced in a reaction

theoretical yield


the amount of product predicted by stoichiometry

stoichiometry


the quantitative study of the reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction

moles


expressed by the Avogadro constant, it is a unit of quantity used in chemistry

atomic mass
