Stoichiometry Lab Report

310 Words2 Pages
Introduction Purpose The main purpose of this experiment is to learn the principles of stoichiometry. It will help us understand the process of finding moles of each reactant, limiting reagents, and calculating theoretical and percent yields for each reaction. Theoretical Background The stoichiometry depends on the balancing chemical formulas which must have the correct ratios for each reactant, so they can form product properly. The following reaction will be used as an example for this experiment: CaCl2 + 2NaOH → Ca(OH)2 + 2NaCl This is a balanced reaction where 2 moles of NaOH and 1 mole of CaCl2 react together to form 1 mole of Ca(OH)2 and 2 moles of NaCl. However, when the reactants are not mixed into the right proportions with each other,
