In the lab you measure 0.65 g of aluminum foil and place it in a beaker under the hood. Very carefully you measure 2.0 mL of Br2 ( 2 needs to be subscript) (density 2.928 g/mL), aslo under the hood, and pour it into the beaker with the aluminum foil. A really cool reaction occurs. What is the limiting reagent? Show ALL necessary calculations.

Dear student,

The first step in solving this type of questions is writing a balanced chemical reaction. So

  • Understanding limiting reagents.

    So A is the limiting reagent. If 2x > y, this means B is not enough to consume all A and even if all B react with A, there is still some A left. So the final yield is determined by B and B is the limiting reagent.

  • Air Bag Experiment

    How could you figure out which one is in excess and which one is limiting by doing exactly one more trial? Additionally, we have to "explain in detail what changes we would make and how we would interpret the possible outcomes of the trial?"

  • Limiting reagent amount estimation

    A limiting reagent is one which is present in the minimum amount in the reaction and is consumed completely during the reaction.

  • Calculating Percent Yield

    Now that you know the moles, you need to know the limiting reagent.

  • Reaction between acrylonitrile, propylene, ammonia, and oxygen

    C3H6(g) + NH3(g) + 3/2 O2(g)  C3H3N(g) + 3 H2O(g) (2) We need to find the moles of each reactant. (3) Find the limiting reagent. From the calculation above, we can claim that the limiting reagent is C3H6.

  • Oswald Process: Find the Percent Yield

    Solution: First, we need to determine whether ammonia or oxygen is the limiting reagent. O2 is the limiting reagent. We can now based on the amount of limiting reagent O2 to determine the theoretical yield of nitric oxide.

  • NiCl2.6H2O + Ethylenediamine ---> Ni(en)3 Yields and Details

    -Ethylenediamine is colorless. In half of the reaction mixtures studied nickel chloride hexahydrate was limitng reagent, meaning that ehtylenediamine was in excess, however, none of the filtrates were colorless. What accounts for the observation?

    Which reagent is the limiting reagent? 2. The reaction of 7.8 g of benzene (C6H6) with excess nitric acid resulted in 0.90 g of H2O. What is the percentage yield?

  • Pressure from Water Vapor

    You need twice as much hydrogen as oxygen and you only have 3.07 mol, so the hydrogen is the limiting reagent.
