Limiting Reactant A.K.A. Stoichiometry
One reactant remains while the other is consumed in a reaction Mole ratio will help determine the limiting reaction Need to create a conversion pathway How do we determine which reactant limits the product?

Two! The chocolate syrup limits the recipe!
Which reactant remains when 6.70 mole Na reacts with 3.2o moles of Cl 2 2 Na + Cl 2 2 NaCl Which reactant is the limiting reactant? Step 1 Moles of reactant Moles of product
Moles of NaMole RatioMoles of NaCl 6.70 moles of Na2 mol NaCl= 6.70 mol NaCl 2 mol Na 2 Na + Cl 2 2 NaCl Moles of Cl 2 Mole RatioMoles of Product 3.20 moles of Cl 2 2 mol NaCl= 6.40 mol NaCl 1 mol Cl 2 Step 1 Cl 2 is the Limiting Reactant!

Which reactant is the limiting reactant when 3.5 g Cu reacts with 6.0 g AgNO 3? Cu + AgNO 3 Cu(NO 3 ) 2 + Ag; balanced? Cu + 2 AgNO 3 Cu(NO 3 ) Ag Limiting Reactant and Mass-Mass Conversions
We have 3.5 g Cu and 6.0 g AgNO 3 Create a Conversion Pathway Cu + 2 AgNO 3 Cu(NO 3 ) Ag Step 1 Mass of Reactant Moles of Reactant Step 2 Moles of Product Step 3 Mass of Product
