Stoichiometry Chapter 9 Limiting Reagents Stoich ppt _5 Limiting Reagents Practice
Stoichiometry After this presentation, you should understand: Moles, mass, representative particles (atoms, molecules, formula units), molar mass, and Avogadro’s number. Calculations using balanced chemical equations: for example, for a given mass of a reactant, calculate the volume of product. Limiting reactants: calculate the mass of product formed when given the mass of each reactant.
Limiting Reagents Write the balanced chemical equation Write all quantitative values under equation (include units) Convert ALL reactants to moles (this is how much you HAVE) Do a mole-to-mole ratio using both reactants (this is how much you NEED) Compare HAVE to NEED to identify the limiting reactant!

Limiting Reactants The reaction between solid white phosphorus (P 4 ) and oxygen gas produces solid tetraphosphorous decoxide (P 4 O 10 ). a.Determine the mass of tetraphosphorous decoxide formed if 25.0 g of phosphorous (P 4 ) and 50.0 g of oxygen are combined. b.How much of the excess reactant remains after the reaction stops?
How do we solve this? 1.What do we know? mass of phosphorous = 25.0 g P 4 mass of oxygen = 50.0 g O 2 2.Write a balanced equation for the reaction 1 P 4 (s) + 5O 2 (g) 1 P 4 O 10 (s) 25.0 g50.0 g a) ? g b) ? excess
Determine the number of moles of reactants available 1 P 4 (s) + 5O 2 (g) 1 P 4 O 10 (s) 25.0 g P 4 x 1 mol P 4 = mol P g P 4 HAVE 50.0 g O 2 x 1 mol O 2 = 1.56 mol O g O 2 HAVE 25.0 g50.0 g
1 P 4 (s) + 5 O 2 (g) --- 1 P 4 O 10 (s) Calculate the moles of O 2 needed to react completely with the available moles of P moles P 4 x 5 moles O 2 = 1.01 mol O 2 11 mol P 4 NEED
Compare the moles O 2 needed to the moles O 2 available: Need:Have: 1.01 mol O 2 <1.56 mol O 2 Because more moles of O 2 are available than are needed, the O 2 is in excess and P 4 is the limiting reactant.
Use the limiting reactant’s moles to determine how much product will be produced mol P 4 x 1 mol P 4 O 10 = mol P 4 O mol P 4 To find the mass: mol P 4 O 10 x g P 4 O 10 = 57.3 g P 4 O mol P 4 O 10
b. How much of the excess reactant remains after the reaction goes to completion? ** Difference between HAVE & NEED ** HAVE = 50.0 g O 2 & NEED = 1.01 mol Convert so units match! 50.0 g O 2 (have) – g O 2 (need) 17.7 g O 2 in excess
