Compare the amount of sulfur needed with the given amount of sulfur.

Sulfur is in excess, so copper is the limiting reagent.

It doesn’t matter which reactant you use. If you used the actual amount of moles of S to find the amount of copper needed, then you would still identify copper as the limiting reagent.

• Copper is the limiting reagent in this reaction. The maximum number of grams of Cu2S produced should be more than

the amount of copper that initially reacted because copper is combining with sulfur.

• However, the mass of Cu2S produced

should be less than the total mass of the reactants (105.0 g) because sulfur was in excess.

When a balanced chemical equation is used to calculate the amount of product that will form during a reaction, the calculated value represents the theoretical yield.

• The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that could be formed from given amounts of reactants.

• The amount of product that actually forms when the reaction is carried out in the laboratory is called the actual yield.

The percent yield is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield expressed as a percent.

Because the actual yield of a chemical reaction is often less than the theoretical yield, the percent yield is often less than 100%.

Percent YieldPercent Yield

Many factors cause percent yields to be less than 100%.• Reactions do not always go to completion; when a

reaction is incomplete, less than the calculated amount of product is formed.

• Impure reactants and competing side reactions may cause unwanted products to form.

• Actual yield can be lower than the theoretical yield due to a loss of product during filtration or in transferring between containers.

• If reactants or products have not been carefully measured, a percent yield of 100% is unlikely.

• In this example, the actual yield is slightly less than the theoretical yield.

• Therefore, the percent yield should be slightly less than 100%.

Key Concepts and Key Concepts and Key EquationKey Equation

In a chemical reaction, an insufficient quantity of any of the reactants will limit the amount of product that forms.

The percent yield is a measure of the efficiency of a reaction performed in the laboratory.

percent yield =actual yield

theoretical yield 100%

• limiting reagent: any reactant that is used up first in a chemical reaction; it determines the amount of product that can be formed in the reaction

• excess reagent: a reagent present in a quantity that is more than sufficient to react with a limiting reagent; any reactant that remains after the limiting reagent is used up in a chemical reaction

• theoretical yield: the amount of product that could form during a reaction calculated from a balanced chemical equation; it represents the maximum amount of product that could be formed from a given amount of reactant

• actual yield: the amount of product that forms when a reaction is carried out in the laboratory

• percent yield: the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield for a chemical reaction expressed as a percentage; a measure of the efficiency of a reaction
