CHEM 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Reagent, Molar Mass, Sodium Hydroxide
Document Summary
This experiment was conducted in order to determine how the ratio of reactants determines the ratio of products using stoichiometry. Stoichiometry was used to determine how many moles of each reactant are needed to force at least one of the reactants to be completely used up in the reaction. This experiment was done by using one reactant as a limiting reagent and the other reactant as an excess reagent. Theoretical yield was used to determine about how many moles it would take to force the reaction to completion and was calculated by balancing the chemical equation for the reaction. The percent yield was determined by how much was actually yielded in comparison to how much was theoretically yielded in order to determine the accuracy of the experiment. The calculations that were performed were in order to determine how much. Ca(oh)2 could possibly be formed in the reaction.
