Lab: Limiting Reactant and Percent Yield

Answer : If a substance is the limiting reactant, then it limits the formation of products because in the reaction it is present in limited amount.

Explanation :

While observing a chemical reaction, we can tell about whether a reactant is limiting or excess.

Step 1 : first write the chemical reaction and then balanced the chemical equation.

C_2H_4+H_2\rightarrow C_2H_6

Step 2 : convert the given masses into the moles if mass of C_2H_4 is 10.5 g and molar mass of C_2H_4 is 28 g/mole and the mass of hydrogen is 0.40 g and molar mass of hydrogen is 2 g/mole.

\text{moles of }C_{2}H_{4}=\frac{10.5g}{28g/mole}=0.375moles

\text{moles of }H_{2}=\frac{0.40g}{2g/mole}=0.20moles

Step 3 : Now we have to determine the limiting reagent and excess reagent.

\text{ moles of }C_{2}H_{4}\text{ in excess}=0.375-0.20=0.175\text{moles}

Now we conclude that C_{2}H_{4} is the limiting reagent and hydrogen is an excess reagent.

Hypothesis :

Limiting reagent : It is the reagent in the chemical reaction that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is complete.  Limiting reagent limits the formation of products.

QveST [7]
Stars have a life cycle, just like people: they are born, grow, change over time, and eventually grow old and die. Most stars change in size, color, and class at least once in their lifetime.

What is radioactive decay?
swat32

Answer:

Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles or photons.

What is my theoretical yield (in moles) of Potassium Bromide (KBr) if I start with 40 grams of Iron (II) Bromide [FeBr2]? moles
Verizon [17]
The reaction will be: FeBr2 + K --> KBr + Fe
Balancing gives: FeBr2 + 2K --> 2KBr + Fe
The molar mass of FeBr2 is 55.85 + 2*79.9 = 215.65 g/mol.
We divide 40 g / 215.65 g/mol = 0.185 mol FeBr2
Based on stoichiometry:
(0.185 mol FeBr2)(2 mol KBr/1 mol FeBr2) = 0.370 mol KBr
