Limiting Reagents and Percent Yield

Chemistry doesn't always work perfectly, silly. Molecules are left over when one thing runs out! Also we never get all of the products that we thought we might by doing the math. You gotta know about the limiting reagents and the percent yield! Don't worry, it's as easy as bologna sandwiches.

    Katie Cheng It's so intuitive yet effective Some sandwiches are just Bologna(O) and bread(H), others are double or triple decker and have a different medium like... peanut butter (Ammonia), or have different things that act as bologna but aren't or dishes that don't need it (a turkey sandwich or literally just table salt). It's brilliant!

    The molar mass came out to be 64 g/mole for CH3COOH, what did I do?

    I dunno! You must've counted wrong. You can email me your calculation if you want.
