Limiting Reactant and Percent Yield
2
Limiting Reactant
is the reactant that
limits the amount of the other reactant that can combine and the amount
of product that can form in a chemical reaction.

Multiple Choice
How many hamburgers you can make?

Excess Reactant
The substance that is not
used up completely in a reaction is called the excess reactant.
5
Multiple Select
What are the excess reactants in the hamburger recipe?
Bread/buns
Meat
Lettuce
Cheese
6
Theoretical Yield
The theoretical yield is
the maximum amount of product that can be produced from a given
amount of reactant.
In THEORY, I can get only 3 hamburgers because of the Limiting Reactant
7
But ACTUALLY
In real-life, in real-lab process, you will always obtain less than expected (less that you got in the stoichiometric process)
So the ACTUAL YIELD is always LESS than the THEORETICAL YIELD
8
You will always get a little LESS than expected
So here comes the new formula
9
Multiple Choice
From stoichiometric calculations, you should obtain 100 grams of NaCl in the product.
In the lab you obtained 80 grams of NaCl.
What is the Percent Yield?
75%
80%
90%
100%
