Limiting Reactant
Limiting Reactant Calculation 3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) Fe3O4 + 4H2 1. Calculate amount of product formed by each reactant 55.85 g Fe 1 mol Fe 3 mol Fe 1 mol Fe3O4 .100 mol Fe3O4 .100 mol Fe3O4 16.8 g Fe x 16.8 g Fe x = yield of product 18.02 g H2O 1 mol H2O 4 mol H2O 1 mol Fe3O4 .139 mol Fe3O4 10.0 g H2O x x = 2. The Limiting reactant gives the least amount of product.
Excess Reactant Calculation 3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) Fe3O4 + 4H2 16.8 g 10.0 g 3. Calculate the excess amount by subtracting the reacted amount from the starting quantity 55.85 g Fe 1 mol Fe 3 mol Fe 4 mol H2O 18.02 g H2O 1 mol H2O 16.8 g Fe x x x = 7.23g H2O Excess water: 10.0 g - 7.2 g = 2.7 g unreacted water
