Title: Limiting and Excess Reactants

Unit title: Chemical Calculations


Statement of inquiry: Various environmental issues could be solved by
understanding basic concepts in chemistry involving interaction between
chemicals and balance between chemical components.
Key concept: Relationships Related concepts: Interaction
Balance
Global context and exploration: Globalization and Sustainability
(Human impact on environment)
ATL Skills: Thinking: Critical Thinking

1. What is the greatest amount of NH3 (In moles) that can be made with
3.2 moles of N2 and 5.4 moles of H2? Which is the limiting reactant?
Which reactant is in excess, and how many moles of it are left over

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

2. What is the greatest amount of MgO (In moles) that can be made
with 7.8 moles of Mg and 4.7 moles of O2? Which is the limiting
reactant? Which reactant is in excess, and how many moles of it are
left over?
𝟐𝑴𝒈 + 𝟏𝑶𝟐 → 𝟐𝑴𝒈𝑶
3. For the reaction 2S(s) + 302(g) → 2S03(g) if 6.3 g of S is reacted with
10.0 g of 02 show by calculation which one will be the limiting
reactant. (The Molar mass of S=32, O= 16)

4. For the reaction 2Cl2(g) + 4NaOH(aq) → 3NaCl(aq) + NaClO2 (aq) +2H2O(l)


11.9 g Cl2 is reacted with 12 g NaOH. Determine which is the limiting
reactant (the molar masses is Cl= 35, NaOH= 40)
5. Mg2Si(s) + 2H2O → 2Mg(OH)2(aq) + SiH4(g) Which of the reactants is
in excess if we start with 50 g of each reactant?
(the molar masses is Mg2Si = 76.7, H2O= 18)

6. What is the greatest amount of AlCl3 (in grams) that can be made
with 114 grams of Al and 186 grams of Cl2? Which is the limiting
reactant? Which reactant is in excess, and how many grams of it are
left over. ( AlCl3 = 133.3, Cl = 35)
2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3
