  2. Yield (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_(chemistry)

    The ratio of the theoretical yield and the actual yield results in a percent yield. [8] When more than one reactant participates in a reaction, the yield is usually calculated based on the amount of the limiting reactant, whose amount is less than stoichiometrically equivalent (or just equivalent) to the amounts of all other reactants present ...

  3. Hydration reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydration_reaction

    In the first step, the alkene acts as a nucleophile and attacks the proton, following Markovnikov's rule. In the second step an H 2 O molecule bonds to the other, more highly substituted carbon. The oxygen atom at this point has three bonds and carries a positive charge (i.e., the molecule is an oxonium ).

  4. Limiting reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_reagent

    The limiting reagent must be identified in order to calculate the percentage yield of a reaction since the theoretical yield is defined as the amount of product obtained when the limiting reagent reacts completely.

  5. Damköhler numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damköhler_numbers

    On the other hand, the second Damköhler number (Da II) is defined in general as: D a I I = k Q c p Δ T {\displaystyle \mathrm {Da} _{\mathrm {II} }={\frac {kQ}{c_{p}\Delta T}}} It compares the process energy of a thermochemical reaction (such as the energy involved in a nonequilibrium gas process) with a related enthalpy difference (driving ...

  6. Rate-determining step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-determining_step

    The statement that the first step is the slow step actually means that the first step in the reverse direction is slower than the second step in the forward direction, so that almost all NO 3 is consumed by reaction with CO and not with NO. That is, r −1 ≪ r 2, so that r 1 − r 2 ≈ 0.

  7. Water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water

    Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H 2 O.It is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, [c] and nearly colorless chemical substance.It is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent [20]).

  8. Stoichiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

    A stoichiometric diagram of the combustion reaction of methane. Stoichiometry (/ ˌ s t ɔɪ k i ˈ ɒ m ɪ t r i / ⓘ) is the relationships between the masses of reactants and products before, during, and following chemical reactions.

  9. Dry basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_basis

    On the wet basis the value is the ratio of the weight of water to the total weight of the solution (1 / 5 = 20% in the example), so the moisture content is always below 100% (in the previous examples the moisture content was specified on this "moisture content wet basis").
