Identify the limiting reagent.

• Pb(NO3)3

• NaI

• PbI2

• NaNO3

When reacting Na with Cl₂, we calculated that the theoretical yield should be 13 grams. Our actual yield was 12.5 grams. What is the percent yield?

• 90.4%

• 104%

• 96%

• 1.0%

Answer explanation

Theoretical yield = 73g
Actual yield = 62g
Calculate the percent yield.

• 1.2%

• 120%

• 85%

• 76%

Answer explanation

What does percent yield indicate?

• The amount of product we should get

• The efficiency of the lab

• The amount of product we actually got

• nothing

Answer explanation

% Yield tells the efficiency of your work - how close you were to the theoretical value you should have gotten

Some product may be lost during filtering causing your actual yield to be less than your theoretical yield.

• true

• false

Answer explanation

Anytime you "lose" product, your actual will be less than your theoretical b/c you lost some of the product.

Your actual will be higher than your theoretical if you add substances that are not the product - example measuring the filter paper & product, and not just the product.

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

Answer explanation

The limiting reactant LIMITS the amount of product that can be made, b/c the rxn stops when the limiting runs out...meaning no more product is made.

When 12 moles of O₂ reacts with 1.1 mole of C₁₀H₈ what is the limiting reactant?  C₁₀H₈ + 12 O₂ --> 10 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

• Oxygen

• C₁₀H₈

• Water

• Carbon Dioxide

Answer explanation

The limiting reactant

• slows the reaction down

• is used up first

• is the reactant that is left over

• controls the speed of the reaction

Answer explanation

the limiting is used up first and stops/limits the reaction from continuing.

2H₂  +   O₂  →  2H₂O
How many moles of oxygen are consumed if 8 moles H₂ are used?

• 2

• 4

• 6

• 8

Answer explanation

H2 has a 2:1 ratio with oxygen (from the coefficients of the balanced equation)

So 8 moles of H2 means 4 moles of O2 are used.

2:1 = 8:X = 8:4
