Limiting Reactant

Using the following equation:

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3H₂(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3H₂O(l)

How many moles of iron can be made from 6 moles H₂ and excess Fe₂O₃?

• 4 moles Fe

• 6 moles Fe

• 9 moles Fe

• 2 moles Fe

Use the equation 2 Al + 3 Cl₂ ---> 2 AlCl₃.  If 2 moles of aluminum and 2 moles of chlorine are reacted, identify the limiting reactant.

• AlCl3
• Cl2
• Al

What is the limiting reactant if 10 moles of NH₃  react  with 30.0 moles of NO?
4NH₃+6NO --> 5N₂ + 6H₂O

• NH₃
• NO
• N₂
• water

P₄ + 3O₂ --> P₄O₆ 
What is the limiting reactant is 12 moles of P₄ react with 15 moles of O₂?

• P₄
• O₂
• P₄O₆ 
• none of the above

P₄ + 3O₂ --> P₄O₆

How many moles of P₄O₆ can be made if 3 moles of P₄ react with 6 moles of O₂?

• 1 mole

• 2 moles

• 4 moles

• 0 moles

How much water can be made if 8 moles of NH₃ react with 6 moles of NO?

4NH₃+6NO --> 5N₂ + 6H₂O

• 5 moles

• 6 moles

• 12 moles

• 18 moles

Use the equation 2 Al + 3 Cl₂ ---> 2 AlCl₃. If 2 moles of aluminum and 3 moles of chlorine are reacted, how much AlCl₃ can be made?

• 1 mole

• 2 moles

• 4 moles

• 0 moles

What is a limiting reactant?

• the reactant that determines how much product can be made
• the reactant that is in excess
• the product that you can make the most of
• the amount of reactants that react with each other

4NH₃ + 5O₂ --> 4NO + 6H₂O
How many grams of NO are formed if 6.30g of ammonia react with 1.80g of oxygen?
