The limiting reagent is the reactant that is completely consumed first in a chemical reaction, determining the maximum amount of product that can form. The other reactants are "in excess." Identifying the limiting reagent is essential for calculating theoretical yield.
Hướng dẫn từng bước
- 1Write and balance the chemical equation
- 2Convert all reactant masses to moles
- 3Divide moles of each reactant by its stoichiometric coefficient
- 4The reactant with the smallest quotient is the limiting reagent
Ví dụ có lời giải
đầu vào
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O · 4 mol H₂ and 1.5 mol O₂
Kết quả
O₂ is limiting (need 2 mol O₂ for 4 mol H₂)
H₂ ratio: 4/2=2; O₂ ratio: 1.5/1=1.5 → O₂ limits
