15 Questions
What is an excess reactant in a chemical reaction?
A reactant that is not totally consumed in the reaction
In the analogy of assembling bicycles, what role do the wheels play?
Limiting reactant
How many bicycles can be built if there are 30 wheels and 15 frames?
5 bicycles
Why are excess reactants important in a chemical reaction?
To ensure all reactants are fully consumed
What is the difference between a limiting reactant and an excess reactant?
Limiting reactants are fully consumed, excess reactants are not.
In a chemical reaction, what are limiting reactants?
Reactants that are completely consumed during the reaction
How many moles of hydrogen gas are left behind in the reaction example provided?
2 moles
What is the role of excess reactants in a chemical reaction?
To help determine the limiting reactant
What is the main purpose of writing a balanced equation in a chemical reaction?
To ensure conservation of mass in the reaction
Why is it important to convert reactant masses from grams to moles when determining limiting reactants?
To establish proper molar ratios for reactants
What is the first step mentioned in the process of identifying the limiting reactant?
Convert grams to moles
In the given scenario, if the molar mass of O2 is 32 g/mol, how many moles of O2 are needed to react with 74 moles of H2?
37 moles
What is the purpose of calculating the amount of product generated in a chemical reaction?
To quantify the result of the reaction
In the context of excess reactants, what would be the correct formula to determine how much excess reactant is remaining?
(moles of limiting reactant * mole ratio of excess reactant / limiting reactant) * molar mass of excess reactant
When determining how much product is generated in a reaction, why is it essential to consider the mole ratio of the product to the limiting reactant?
To ensure accuracy and proportionality in calculating the product yield
