Limiting Reagents
Limiting Reagents
In a chemical reaction, an insufficient quantity of any of the
reactants will limit the amount of product that forms.

Limiting reagent – the reactant that is used up first,


determines the amount of product that can be formed

Excess reagent – the reactant that is left over and not


completely used up at the end of the reaction.

reagent.

Step 1: Balance the Equation


2NH3(g) + 3CuO  N2(g) + 3Cu(s) + 3H20(g)

Step 2: Convert the masses to moles


Example Problem
  2NH3(g) + 3CuO(s)  N2(g) + 3Cu(s) + 3H2O(l)

How many grams of N2 are formed when 9.1 g of NH3 is reacted with 45.2 g of CuO?

Step 3: Determine the limiting reagent.


In this case, the CuO is the limiting reagent. So we will use this number to calculate how much
N2 will be formed.
Step 4: Use the limiting reagent to determine the outcome.

Percent Yield
Actual Yield and Theoretical Yield
Theoretical yield – the maximum amount of
product that could possibly be made from a
given amount of reactants.

Actual yield – the amount of product that


actually forms.
Percent Yield
 

Percent yield is a measure of how efficient a reaction you


actually carry out is.
No reaction is perfect. Some product is always lost in the
process because of error in measurements or lab
processes.
Example Problem
  CaCO3(s) --> CaO(s) + CO2(g)

What is the percent yield if 12.1 g of CaO is produced from 24.9 g of CaCO3?

Step 1: Determine the theoretical yield. (Hint: The reaction is already balanced)

Step 2: Use the percent yield formula to determine the % yield.

question)
