Limiting Reagents

Front

What is a limiting reagent?

Back

A limiting reagent is the reactant that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction, limiting the amount of product that can be formed.

Front

How do you identify the limiting reagent in a reaction?

Back

To identify the limiting reagent, calculate the amount of product each reactant can produce based on the stoichiometry of the reaction. The reactant that produces the least amount of product is the limiting reagent.

What is the molar mass of AuCl3?

Back

303.3 g/mol

Front

How do you calculate the percent yield of a reaction?

Back

Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%.

Front

What is the theoretical yield?

Back

The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be produced from a given amount of reactants, based on stoichiometric calculations.

Front

What is the actual yield?

Back

The actual yield is the amount of product that is actually obtained from a chemical reaction.

Front

Why is it important to identify the limiting reagent?

Back

The limiting reagent controls the amount of product formed in a chemical reaction.

If you have 10 pieces of bread, 4 tablespoons of peanut butter, and 20 tablespoons of jelly, what is the limiting reactant for making sandwiches?

Back

Peanut butter is the limiting reactant.

Front

What is stoichiometry?

Back

Stoichiometry is the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on the balanced chemical equation.

Front

What is the relationship between limiting reagents and stoichiometry?

Back

Limiting reagents are essential for stoichiometric calculations, as they determine the maximum amount of product that can be formed.
