PROBLEM: A solution containing 6720 mg of H 2 0 is added to another containing Liters of CO 2 at STP. Determine which reactant was in excess, as well as the number of grams over the amount required by the limiting species. Also, find the number of molecules of glucose that precipitated as well, as the theoretical and percent yield of glucose if g C 6 H 12 O 6 was obtained.

6 H CO 2 C 6 H 12 O mole H mole C 6 H 12 O 6 6 mole H mole H 2 0 = 1 mole C 6 H
STEP 5 Convert moles to grams
.062 mole C 6 H grams C 6 H mole C 6 H STEP 5 Convert moles to grams 1 mole C 6 H = 180 g C 6 H
You have figured out that: 6720 mg of H 2 0 = grams C 6 H 12 O 6 Now figure out: L CO 2 = ? grams C 6 H 12 O 6
STEP 1 Convert L at STP to moles L of CO 2 (Given)
STEP 1 Convert L at STP to moles L of CO 2 (Given) L CO 2 1 mole CO Liters CO L CO 2 =1 mole CO 2

.079 mole C 6 H 12 O grams C 6 H 12 O 6 1 mole C 6 H 12 O 6 1 mole C 6 H = 180 g C 6 H
You have figured out that: 6720 mg of H 2 0 = grams C 6 H 12 O L of CO 2 = mol C 6 H 12 O 6 CO 2 is the excess reactant
You have figured out that: 6720 mg of H 2 0 = grams C 6 H 12 O L of CO 2 = mol C 6 H 12 O 6 CO 2 is the excess reactant How much excess CO 2 ? (In grams)
CO 2 is the excess reactant How much excess CO 2 ? (In grams) grams – grams = You have figured out that: 6720 mg of H 2 0 = grams C 6 H 12 O L of CO 2 = mol C 6 H 12 O grams CO 2 in excess
Find the number of molecules of glucose that precipitated. What’s Next?
STEP 1 Convert moles to molecules 0.62 mole of C 6 H 12 O 6 (Found)
STEP 1 Convert moles to molecules 0.62 mole of C 6 H 12 O 6 (Found) 0.62 moles C 6 H 12 O x C 6 H 12 O 6 1 mole C 6 H 12 O 6 1 mole C 6 H = 6.02 x molecules C 6 H
Find the number of molecules of glucose that precipitated. RESTATING THE QUESTION:
Find the number of molecules of glucose that precipitated E 22 molecules C 6 H 12 O 6 RESTATING THE QUESTION:
THEORETICAL & PERCENT YIELD Find theoretical percent yield of C 6 H 12 O 6 (Actual amount of Glucose obtained was as stated before)
THEORETICAL & PERCENT YIELD Theoretical Yield: (Already Found) grams Find theoretical percent yield of C 6 H 12 O 6 (Actual amount of Glucose obtained was as stated before)
THEORETICAL & PERCENT YIELD Theoretical Yield: (Already Found) grams Percent Yield: ACTUAL YIELD/THEORETICAL x 100 Find theoretical percent yield of C 6 H 12 O 6 (Actual amount of Glucose obtained was as stated before)
THEORETICAL & PERCENT YIELD Find theoretical percent yield of C 6 H 12 O 6 (Actual amount of Glucose obtained was as stated before) Theoretical Yield: (Already Found) grams Percent Yield: ACTUAL YIELD/THEORETICAL x 100 PERCENT YIELD : 10.22/11.16 x 100 = 92%
Percent Error %Error = (|Your Result - Accepted Value| / Accepted Value) x 100
Percent Error %Error = (|Your Result - Accepted Value| / Accepted Value) x 100 How much should have been made = g Glucose How much was made: g Glucose
Percent Error %Error = (|Your Result - Accepted Value| / Accepted Value) x 100 How much should have been made = g Glucose How much was made: g Glucose (|10.22 – 11.16| / 11.16) x 100 = 8%
