What is one mole of a substance?
It is the amount of the substance containing the same number of particles as there are carbon atoms in 12g of carbon-12. It contains 6*10to the power of 23 particles (Avogadro's number)

How can the percentage of an element in a compound be calculated?
From the relative mass of an element in the formula an the relative mass of a compound

What is the empirical formula?
It is the simplest whole-number ratio of the atoms in the compound. It can be calculated from the masses or percentages of the elements in a compound

What is the yield?
It is the amount of a product obtained.
8 of 11
Why is impossible to obtain the calculated amount of product?
The reaction may not go to completion as it's reversible, some of the product may be lost when it is separated from the reaction mixture, some of the reactants may react in ways different from the expected reaction

How do you calculate how much to react and how much we can produce?
Using the relative formula masses
