Key Concepts
- Mole Ratios: Derived from balanced chemical equations.
- Limiting Reactant: Determines the maximum amount of product.
- Theoretical Yield: Maximum amount of product based on the limiting reactant.
Practice Problem
If 10.0 g of H2 reacts with 50.0 g of O2, calculate the amount of H2O produced:
\[ 2H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O \]Practice Questions
- What is the limiting reactant in the reaction of 5.0 g of CH4 with 10.0 g of O2?
- Calculate the molar mass of NaCl.
- Determine the theoretical yield of CO2 when 10.0 g of C reacts with excess O2.
