Investigation 3 Determine the Limiting Reagent Chemistry Investigation 3 Limiting Reagents Aim: To determine the limiting reagent in a reaction. Hypothesis: if the number of moles of the solutions added together equals the stoichiometry ratio in the balanced equation‚ then we would not expect a limiting reagent in the reaction. Independent variable: The number of moles of the reactants Dependent Variable: The limiting reagent Constant Variable: The volume of reactants added Equipment:

Ch. 1 Fundamentals of Chemistry Subchapter – Stoichiometry and Units 1. An element X forms an oxide with the formula X4O10. If 31 g of X combines with 40 g of oxygen‚ what is the identity of X? A. N B. P C. C D. S Correct Answer: B: P Explanation: We can solve for the atomic mass of X to identify it. The amount in g of X for any amount in g of O is given by: Rearranging the above equation and substituting the given mass of X and O‚ we get: Thus‚ the atomic mass of X

____________________________ Objectives: (1) To determine the amount of NaHCO3 in Alka Seltzer tablets by observing the amount of CO2 produced from the acid-base reaction of HCO3- with acetic acid (in vinegar). (2) To study the concept of limiting reactant. Background: Alka Seltzer is an effervescent tablet that contains aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid)‚ citric acid‚ and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). As soon as the tablet dissolves in water‚ the NaHCO3 dissociates to form a bicarbonate ion

Experiment #8: Limiting Reactant Abstract In chemical reactions‚ the significance of knowing the limiting reactant is high. In order to increase the percent yield of product‚ increasing the limiting reactant‚ possibly‚ is the most effective. In this experiment we were able to calculate limiting reactants from the reaction of CaCl2. 2H2O + K2C2O4.H2O(aq). As a group‚ we obtained our salt mixture of calcium chloride and potassium oxalate‚ and weighed the mixture. We were able to make an aqueous

During this lab‚ we found the excess reactant and limiting reactant between Aluminum and Copper (ll) Chloride. Using stoichiometry‚ we were able to make predictions. Through the reaction 2Al + 2CuCl₂ → 3Cu + 2AlCl₃ we carried out this experiment and determined that the limiting reactant was CuCl₂ and that the aluminum was in excess. We also determined the percentage yield of copper. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the limiting reactant and percentage yield of the reaction that

F3.3 – LIMITING FACTORS • a factor that causes popn growth to decrease • two basic types: 1. density-independent factors 2. density-dependent factors 1. Density-independent factors • an abiotic event that affects all popn’s in the same way‚ regardless of popn density • e.g. fires‚ earthquakes‚ storms‚ temperature extremes… 2. Density-dependent Factors • a biotic interaction that varies in its effect on popn size‚ depending on the density of the popn involved • have greater impact on denser popn’s

principle of limiting reactants relates to this lab because the limiting reactant is the substance that is used up first in a chemical reaction. The amount of product was limited by that reagent. The excess reactants were considered to be the other reagents that were presented in excess of the quantity that was reacted with the limiting reagent. The theoretical yield was determined as the amount of product obtained when the limiting reagent was completely used. The limiting reagent was identified

Limiting Freedom Paige Shields Ethics: Freedom Seminar June 27‚ 2012 Abstract The federal government is take their role a little too far by limiting some of the simplest freedoms that have been given to the American people. The American people are being used by the government to create the “perfect” society in unjust and unethical ways. They are using things such as seatbelt policies that are costing more money than we could ever imagine‚ smoking in public to limit the

Chem 121L Part I: Introduction Stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative‚ or measurable‚ relationships that exist in chemical formulas and also chemical reactions. In this experiment hydrogen gas will be produced from the reaction of a known mass of magnesium metal with an excess of hydrochloric acid. The theoretical number of moles of hydrogen gas may be calculated using stoichiometry and the balanced chemical equation. The theoretical volume of hydrogen gas may then be determined from
