How many cars can you make? What “limits” the amount of cars you can make??? What “excess” do you have left over??? LiNkeD
In a chemical reaction when one of the reactants is used up before the others…. the reaction stops as soon as any one of the reactants are TOTALLY CONSUMED The other reactants will be leftover as excess
Limiting reactant – the reactant that is completely consumed in a reaction –This reactant limits the amount of product that can be produced Excess reactant(s) – reactant(s) that which are leftover after the limiting reactant runs out
Determine the limiting reactant Fe(s) + S(s) FeS(s) 2.50 mole Fe react with 3.00 mole S to give FeS which is the limiting reactant? mole Fe mole S mole FeS Before rxn After rxn
Example H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) H 2 O (g) If 10 mol H2 and 7 mol O2 are mixed ??? How many moles of H 2 O can be formed??? What will be leftover as excess??? 22
