Students will be able to count the number of atoms on the reactant side and on the product side of a chemical equation. They will also be able to explain that the equal number of atoms on each side of ...

Accompanying Lesson Plan: Lesson 6.2: Controlling the Amount of Products in a Chemical Reaction Adding more of one reactant will make more products as long as there is still enough of the other ...

It is the limiting reactant. Now use the moles of the limiting reactant to calculate the mass of the product. Remember to use the molar ratio between the limiting reactant and the product.

For example, some reactants can be very expensive so the experiment may be scaled down, usually one reactant is in excess or perhaps the chemist knows approximately how much product they need.

The typical aldol reaction involves self condensation of the reactant ketone or aldehyde wherein one molecule adds to the other of the same type. An example of a self-condensation aldol reaction is ...

While sometimes used interchangeably with the term “reactant”, reagents and reactants are quite different. In a chemical reaction, a reagent binds to something and thus triggers a reaction.
