Limiting Reactants and Etc

The document discusses determining limiting and excess reactants, theoretical and percent yields, and methods for converting between molarity, ppm, grams, moles, and liters of solutions. It provides examples of calculating limiting reactants, theoretical and percent yields, and interconverting units like ppm, molarity, grams, and moles when given the density and molar mass in problems involving aqueous solutions.

Limiting and Excess Reactant, Theoretical and

Percent Yield.
Wednesday, 22 February 2023 8:51 pm

To find the excess reactant and limiting reactant, you can divide the amount of given moles
With their coefficient in the balanced equation. The one that has a lower coefficient to mole
ratio is the limiting reactant.

Example:

Another way is to compute their theoretical yield, the one that gives the smaller amount of
product is the limiting reagent.

How to find the percent yield.

If instead of 4.8 mol of carbon dioxide you got 4.5, what would be the percent yield?

Then compute the error yield by subtracting the percent yield by 100.

How to convert ppm to molarity

A solution consisting of water and NaOH has a density of 1.05 g/mL and a solute
concentration of 840 ppm. What is the molarity of this solution?

To convert grams of solution to L of solution we need density. As well as needing the


Molar Mass to convert grams to moles.

Step by step process:

1. First we will write down the ppm, to convert to the grams to mols.

2. Then, we will multiply what we got to the substance's density to


convert g/1x10^6g to g/ml.

3. Last, we need to convert ml to L.

3. Last, we need to convert ml to L.

Convert Molarity to PPM

A 0.004 M KI solution has a density of a 1.03 g/ml. What is the concentration of this solution in ppm?

Step by step process:

1. First we convert the Molarity solution from gram to mols.

2. Then we convert the liter to ml.

3. Then we multiply it by its density.

A 900 g sample of seawater is found to contain 7 g Zn. Express this concentration in ppm.

Step by step:
1. We express the concentration first in ppm, then multiply by 1 million.

2. A 650.0 g hard-water sample contains 101 mg Ca. Express in ppm.

3. A 365.0 gram sample of water contains 23 mg Au. Express in ppm.

4. A 365.0 gram sample of water contains 23 mg Au. Express in ppm.

5. A 650.0 g hard-water sample contains 101 mg Ca. Express in ppm.

6. An 870.0 g river water sample contains 2.0 mg Cd. Express in ppm.

Describe the preparation of 300 ml of 4.0 M HCl from a concentrated solution that has a sp. gr, of
1.18 and is 36% (w/w) HCl (36.5 g/mol).

Describe the proportion of 250 ml of 0.500 M h2so from 18 M H2SO solution.

1. Convert the following:


a. 120 g mol of NaCl to g.

b. 120 g of NaCl to g mol.

c. 120 lb mol of NaCl to lb.

d. 120 lb of NaCl to lb mol.

1. volume [ml] = weight [g] / density [g/ml] , or:


2. weight [g] = volume [ml] × density [g/ml]

Copper reacts with sulfuric acid to form copper (II) sulfate, water and sulfur dioxide.
0.973 grams of copper (II) sulfate should have been formed, but the reaction only
produced 0.854 grams. What is the percent yield of this reaction?
