How many grams of water can be produced by decomposing 1.0 grams of hydrogen peroxide?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes the limiting reagent in a chemical reaction?

• The reactant that produces the most product

• The reactant that is present in the greatest amount

• The reactant that runs out first and limits the amount of product formed

• The product that is formed in the smallest amount

Multiple Choice

When solving a limiting reagent problem, why is it necessary to compare the amount of product formed from each reactant?

• To determine which reactant is in excess

• To find the total yield of the reaction

• To identify the reactant that limits the amount of product formed

• To balance the chemical equation

• 94.3%

• 105.8%

• 85.2%

• 100%
