Questions and Answers

Why is it important to balance a chemical equation before performing stoichiometric calculations?

  • To identify the products formed
  • To calculate the percent yield
  • To determine the limiting reactant
  • To ensure conservation of mass (correct)

Which statement defines a limiting reactant?

  • The reactant that is completely consumed and limits the amount of product formed (correct)
  • The reactant that reacts fastest in a chemical reaction
  • The reactant that has the highest molar mass
  • The reactant that is present in excess and determines the amount of product formed

What is the molar mass of CaCO3?

  • 50.09 g/mol
  • 40.08 g/mol (correct)
  • 60.08 g/mol
