Mole
The amount of substance containing $6.02 \times 10^{23}$ elementary particles.
Molar Mass
The mass of one mole of a substance ($g \cdot mol^{-1}$).
Stoichiometry
The quantitative relationship between reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
Empirical Formula
The simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.
Molecular Formula
The actual number of atoms of each element present in a molecule.
Theoretical Yield
The maximum amount of product that can be formed from the limiting reactant.
Percentage Yield
(Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) x 100%.
Limiting Reactant
The reactant that is completely consumed and determines the maximum product yield.
Excess Reactant
The reactant that remains after a chemical reaction has stopped.
Molar Volume
The volume occupied by one mole of any gas at STP ($22.7 \text{ dm}^3 \cdot mol^{-1}$).
STP
Standard Temperature and Pressure ($273\text{K}, 100\text{kPa}$).
Ideal Gas Equation
The equation of state relating pressure, volume, temperature, and moles ($PV = nRT$).
Concentration
The amount of solute dissolved in a unit volume of solution ($mol \cdot dm^{-3}$).
Titration
Analytical method used to determine the concentration of a substance by reacting it with a standard solution.
Back Titration
Two-stage titration used when the sample is insoluble or the endpoint is hard to see.
