Chemistry occurs in MOLE quantities. Masses (weights) are what we measure. So, to calculate reactions we need to put everything into terms of Moles before we can solve them. We also need to BALANCE the chemical reaction correctly. Then the ratio of moles of each substance can readily be seen.

The "limiting" reagent is simply the one that runs out first, and the "excess" is the one that is left over after the limiting reagent has been completely used up.

If the equation molar ratios are 2:3, and only 1 of the first is available, it is the limiting reagent, and it will be consumed when only 1.5 of the other is used. Thus, the second one is the "excess reagent" and will have 1.5 moles left in the solution after the first reagent is gone.

The crystalline salt Na2SO4.xH2O on heating loses 55.5% of its weight the formula of crystalline salt is??? a)Na2SO4.5H2O b)Na2SO4.7H2O c)Na2SO4.2H2O d)Na2SO4.10H2O e)Na2SO4.6H2O

We gots $Na_2SO_4*(OH_2)_n$ where $n$, the number of so-called waters of crystallization are to be determined..... We write the dehydration reaction as follows.... $Na_2SO_4*(OH_2)_n +Delta rarrNa_2SO_4 + nH_2O$ We assume...

If 25.0 L of HCl is reacted with 50.0 L of O2, what is the limiting reactant for 4 HCl (g) + O2 (g) → 2 Cl2 (g) + 2H2O (g)?

The limiting reactant is HCl. You use the usual method for . In your problem, the balanced equation is 4HCl(g) + O₂(g) → 2Cl₂(g) + 2H₂O(g) According to Gay-Lussac's Law...

Which substance is the limiting reactant when 2.0 g of sulfur reacts with 3.0 g of oxygen and 4.0 g of sodium hydroxide according to the following chemical equation? 2 S(s) + 3 O2(g) + 4 NaOH(aq) → 2 Na2SO4(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

Don't be confused by the fact that you have three reactants, you can find the by using the same technique you use for reactions that have two reactants. So,...

Consider the following reaction: 2N2(g) + 5O2(g) + 2H2O(g) --> 4HNO3(g). If a reaction mixture contains 28g of N2, 150g of O2, and 36g of H2O, what is the limiting reactant?

You have been given the masses of each reagent. These are molar quantiies when we divide them by the molecular mass of each reagent: i.e. $(28 *g *N_2)/(28* g *mol^-1)$;...

Consider the combustion of methane: Ch4(g)+2O2(g) --> CO2(g)+2H2O(g), suppose 2.8 moles of methane are allowed to react with 3 moles of oxygen, what is the limiting reactant?

There are different methods of finding the limiting reactant, here is the simplest to my opinion. The reaction is: $CH_4(g) + color(blue)(2)O_2(g)->CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)$ Find the molar ratio between the experimental number...

Given the equation: CaC2(s) +2H2O(l) --> C2H2(g) + Ca(OH)2(s), 155 g CaC2 (s) reacts with 125 g H2O, what is the limiting reactant?

Moles of water $=$ $(125*g)/(18*g*mol^(-1))$ $=$ $6.94*mol$ Moles of carbide $=$ $(155*g)/(64.1*g*mol^(-1))$ $=$ $2.4*mol$ So how much acetylene am I going to get?

Given the equation: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, if given 10g H2 gas and 15g O2 gas, what is the limiting reactant?

Start by taking a look at the balanced chemical equation for this reaction $color(red)(2)"H"_text(2(g]) + "O"_text(2(g]) -> 2"H"_2"O"_text((l])$ Notice that you have a $color(red)(2):1$ between hydrogen gas and...

How many liters of hydrogen gas can be produced at 313.4 K and 105.3 kPa if 23.4 g of sodium metal is completely reacted with water according to the following equation? 2Na(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H₂(g)

We examine the reation… $Na(s) + H_2O(l) rarr NaOH(aq) + 1/2H_2$ $n_"sodium"=(23.4*g)/(22.99*g*mol^-1)=1.018*mol$...and so HALF an EQUIV dihydrogen gas is evolved ... and we have to find the appropriate gas constant......

What is the molarity of an H2SO4 solution if 18.5 mL of 0.18 M NaOH are needed to neutralize 25.0 mL of the sample? H2SO4 + 2NaOH => Na2SO4 + 2H2O

The is $0.066"mol/l"$ $c=n/v$ $n=cv$ So we can work out the no. moles $NaOH$: $nNaOH=(18.5xx0.18)/(1000)=3.33xx10^(-3)$ From the equation we can see that the no. moles $H_2SO_4$ must be half that...
