STOICHIOMETRY
Stoichiometry is the study of the amount
of substances produced and consumed in
chemical reactions.
The word stoichiometry comes from the
Greek “stoicheion” and “metrein” meaning
“element” and to “measure”.
Calculations are carried out step-by-step
using dimensional analysis.

LIMITING REAGENT
The limiting reagent in a chemical
reaction limits the amounts of the
other reactants that can combine –
and the amount of product that can
form – in a chemical reaction.
The reaction will stop once the
limiting reagent runs out.
EXCESS REAGENT
The excess reagent in a chemical
reaction is the substance that is not
used up completely in a chemical
reaction.
AN EXAMPLE
Mrs. Kyle likes to make grilled cheese sandwiches for her
children.
2 slices bread + 1 slice cheese + 1 T Butter + energy → 1 sandwich
How many sandwiches could Mrs. Kyle make if she has 10
slices of bread, 4 slices of cheese and 7 tablespoons of
butter? Why?
Mrs. Kyle could only make 4 sandwiches because she only
has enough cheese for 4 sandwiches.

Mrs. Kyle would have 2 slices of bread and 3 tablespoons of
butter left over.

PERCENT YIELD
The theoretical yield is the calculated
amount of product that could form
during a reaction based upon a
balanced equation.
This is the maximum amount of
product that could be formed.
PERCENT YIELD
The actual yield is the amount of
product that forms when the reaction is
carried out in the laboratory.
The actual yield is often less than the
theoretical yield.
PERCENT YIELD
The percent yield is the ratio of the
actual yield to the theoretical yield.
WHAT ARE SOME FACTORS THAT MIGHT
CAUSE THE PERCENT YIELD TO BE LESS
THAN 100%?
1. Reactions do not always go to
completion.
2. Impure reactants and competing side
reactions may cause other products to
be formed.
3. Some of the product may be lost
during purification.
WHAT ARE SOME FACTORS THAT MIGHT
CAUSE THE PERCENT YIELD TO APPEAR
TO BE MORE THAN 100%?
1. The product might not be completely
dry.
2. The product might combine with
oxygen in the air drying it.
