Limiting Reactants and Molar Masses

In this video, Michael from Concord Chemistry explains how to find the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction. He introduces the concept, demonstrates balancing chemical equations, and shows how to convert reactants to moles. Michael then guides viewers through determining the limiting reactant using a step-by-step approach. The video concludes with additional resources for further learning.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• Calculating molar masses

• Understanding chemical reactions

• Finding the limiting reactant

• Balancing chemical equations

Why is it important to write a balanced chemical equation before solving the problem?

• To identify the reactants

• To accurately calculate the mole ratios

• To determine the products formed

• To ensure the reaction is possible

What is the first step in finding the limiting reactant?

• Calculating the molar mass

• Balancing the chemical equation

• Converting reactants to moles

• Identifying the products

How do you convert the mass of a reactant to moles?

• Add the molar mass

• Divide by the molar mass

• Subtract the molar mass

• Multiply by the molar mass

What is the molar mass of SF4 used in the example?

• 108.07 g/mol

• 333.81 g/mol

• 98.07 g/mol

• 200.00 g/mol

After converting to moles, what is the next step in determining the limiting reactant?
