 1. 

An excess reagent is not completely consumed in a chemical reaction. ____________________

 

 2. 

The amount of products formed in a chemical reaction depends on the amount of excess reagent available. ______________________________

 

 3. 

During a chemical reaction, the limiting reagent is used up before all the excess reagent is consumed. ____________________

 

 4. 

Low percentage yields may occur because most reactions are reversible. ____________________

 

 5. 

Increasing the number of steps in an experimental design usually increases the yield of product in a chemical reaction. ____________________

 

 6. 

The actual yield of a chemical reaction is calculated on the basis of a balanced chemical equation. ________________________________________

 

Multiple Choice
