Answer:

Theoretical yield =26.03 g

Percent yield = 87%

Limiting reactant = CaO

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaO = 14.4 g

Mass of CO₂ = 13.8 g

Actual yield of CaCO₃ = 22.6 g

Theoretical yield = ?

Percent yield = ?

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CaO + CO₂   → CaCO₃

Number of moles of CaO:

Number of moles  = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 14.4 g / 56.1 g/mol

Number of moles  = 0.26 mol

Number of moles of CO₂:

Number of moles = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 13.8 g / 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.31 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ and CaO with CaCO₃ .

                  CO₂         :                CaCO₃  

                  1               :                 1

                 0.31           :              0.31

                CaO           :               CaCO₃  

                 1                :                 1

                 0.26         :              0.26

The number of moles of  CaCO₃ produced by CaO are less it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of CaCO₃: Theoretical yield

Mass of CaCO₃ = moles × molar mass

Mass of CaCO₃ =0.26 mol × 100.1 g/mol

Mass of CaCO₃ =  26.03 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 22.6 g/ 26.03 g × 100

Percent yield = 0.87× 100

Percent yield = 87%

Limiting reactant:

The number of moles of  CaCO₃ produced by CaO are less it will be limiting reactant.

Level 1: 2Sr + 02 &gt; 2Sro
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Sr would be the limiting reactant

5 moles

Explanation:

Since the equation is a balanced equation, the coefficient shows how each substance relates to the other in terms of the number of moles.

Reactants would be those on the left hand side of the arrow, while the products would be found on te right and side of the arrow. In this question, the reactants would be Sr and O₂.

Limiting reactant is the reactant that is insufficient; meaning to say that there is not enough of that substance and thus the reaction cannot continue. The other reactant(s) that is not limiting is called the excess reactants.

From the balanced equation, 2 moles of Sr is needed to react with 1 mole of O₂. Thus, if we have 5 moles of each reactant, Sr would be the limiting reactant since for every 1 mole of O₂, there has to be 2 moles of Sr in order for the reaction to proceed. Thus, if we have 5 moles of O₂, we would need 10 moles of Sr.

When we work out the amount of products formed, we look at the number of moles of the limiting reactant. This is because the limiting reactant determines how much is being reacted, while the excess number of moles of the excess reactant will remain unreacted.

For every 2 moles of Sr reacted, 2 moles of SrO would be produced. This means that the mole ratio of Sr to SrO is 1:1. Thus, since 5 moles of Sr has been reacted, 5 moles of the product (SrO) would be produced.
