How to make a stoichiometry table

Draw the reaction and choose View › Stoichiometry table. Pick the limiting reagent and its mass; the other amounts follow from their equivalents, with the theoretical yield below.

Steps

  1. Draw the reaction, for example ethanol and acetic acid to ethyl acetate.

  2. Choose Main menu › View › Stoichiometry table.

  3. Pick the Limiting reagent and type its Mass (mg).

  4. Set each other reactant's Equiv. Its mmol and mass follow.

    The Stoichiometry table with ethanol as limiting reagent and a theoretical yield of 191.2 mg.The Stoichiometry table with ethanol as limiting reagent and a theoretical yield of 191.2 mg.

  5. Type the Isolated product (mg) to compare with the Theoretical yield.

  6. Copy table copies it, and Place on page puts it beside the reaction.

Molecular weights come from the structures as drawn.
