Your objectives in studying this chapter are to be able to

1. Write and balance chemical reaction equations

2. Determine the stoichiometric quantities of reactants and products in moles or mass given the chemical reaction

3. Identify the limiting and excess reactants in a reaction, and calculate the fraction or percent excess reactant(s); the percent conversion, or completion; the yield; and the extent of reaction for a chemical reaction with the reactants given in nonstoichiometric proportion

4. Carry out a degree-of-freedom analysis for processes ...
