To make a smore, 2 graham crackers, a piece of chocolate, and a marshmallow are needed. You have 5 graham crackers, 7 pieces of

chocolate, and 5 marshmallows. Using smores as your example, explain the concepts of limiting reactant, excess reactant, and theoretical yield.

Limiting Reactant - The reactant in a Chemical Reaction that limits the amount of product that can be formed. 

Excess Reactant - The reactant in a chemical reaction that remains when a reaction stops when the limiting reactant is completely consumed. 

Theoretical Yield - The quantity of a product obtained from the complete conversion of the limiting reactant in a Chemical reaction.  

I hope this helped make your question easier ^_^

Answer:

Limiting reactant: graham crackers

Excess reactants: chocolate and marshmallows

Theoretical yield: 5/2 smores

Explanation:

When 2 graham crackers, a piece of chocolate, and a marshmallow are combined a smore is made.

You have 5 graham crackers, the following proportions must be satisfied:

2 graham crackers/5 graham crackers = 1 piece of chocolate/x piece of chocolate

x = 1*5/2 = 5/2 pieces of chocolate reacts

2 graham crackers/5 graham crackers = 1 marshmallow/y marshmallow

x = 1*5/2 = 5/2 marshmallows reacts

But you have 7 pieces of chocolate and 5 marshmallows, then the graham crackers are the limiting reactant, that is, when all crackers react, the reaction is finished. As a consequence the excess reactants are the pieces of chocolate and the marshmallows,  because at the time the reactant is completely consumed, there are still chocolate and marshmallow.

To compute the theoretical yield,  the following proportion must be satisfied (the limiting reactant is used):

2 graham crackers/5 graham crackers = 1 smore/z smore

z = 1*5/2 = 5/2 smores are made

What is a vocab word for Friction?
Leona [35]

Answer: Friction is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.

Calculate the ratio of the mass ratio of SS to OO in SOSO to the mass ratio of SS to OO in SO2SO2. Consider a sample of SOSO in
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the mass ratio of S to O; in SO, to the mass ratio of S to O; in SO₂, is  2:1

Explanation:

According to the consideration, let us first find the ratio of S and O in both the compounds

For SO:

\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{16}\\\\   \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 2

Let us express it as

SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }} = 2

For SO₂,

Due to two oxygen atoms in the molecule, the mass of oxygen will be taken two times

\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{(2)(16)}\\\\   \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 1

Let us express it as

SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}= 1

Now, for the ratio of both the above-calculated ratios,

\frac{SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}{SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}=\frac{2}{1}

The required ratio is 2:1
