I. Title: Mass and Mole Relationships in a Chemical Reaction II. Background: Percent yield is the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield. Amount in percent of one product formed in chemical reaction. Actual yield is the information found is experiments or is given. It is also the real amount. Theoretical yield is found through a mathematical equation. The amount produced is another way of identifying theoretical yield. The limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely used in the reaction. This amount of the limiting reactant makes the amount of products formed smaller than should be. It, also, stops the reactions. The excess reaction is the reactant that is not used up completely in the reaction. Limiting reactants can be found …show more content…
In reactions, this law says that the mass of the original substance is the same after going through a reaction. This is shown with balanced chemical equations. It is needed so that the mass of the product is equivalent to the mass of the reactants. Mole ratio is the ratio of moles of one substance to the moles of another substance in a balanced equation. Mole ratio is considered a conversion factor since it helps to convert units with the use of moles. It is used in stoichiometry and other calculations and comes out of the balanced chemical equations. Stoichiometry is the measurement of elements that concerns the chemical quantities produced or taken in a reaction. The process of relating the mass and mole quantities of reactants or products in a reaction. It uses a balanced chemical equation, mole ratio, and sometimes needs mole mass. Molar mass is the mass in grams in one mole of substance. The units for molar mass are in grams per mole. Molar mass is the same number as the formula mass that needs to be found except it is converted. Formula mass is the mass in atomic mass unit of one particle of …show more content…
The items that were massed were the evaporating dish, watch glass, and NaCO3. The materials were massed once before and once after being heated in the drying oven. The mass of the evaporating Dish before was 46.57 g; while after being heating was 60.15 g. The mass of the watch glass before was 57.97 g and after was 48.75g. There were two masses taken for the substance NaHCO3- one with the evaporating dish and one without, subtracted out after the lab was concluded. The mass of the substance with the dish was 48.79 g before and 62.33 g after; meanwhile, the mass of the substance without the dish was 2.22 g before and 2.18 g after. The mass of the NaHCO3 had changed after the reaction occurred along with after it was placed on the hot plate and being in the drying oven. When the reactants were in the evaporating dish with the hotplate on, the acetic acid and sodium had been chemically bonded in a combustion compound. The mass went from two different reactants to one product and two evaporated
