Experiment 3: Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction Abstract: In this experiment the objectives were to try and predict the amount of product that was produced in the precipitation reaction of calcium carbonate by using stoichiometry. Then learn how to figure out the actual yield‚ theoretical yield and percent yield of the experiment. Experiment and Observation: The first step in the experiment was to weigh 1g of CaCl2 +2 H2O‚ then pour it into the 100mL
