  9. Limiting Reactant: Cookies 1 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 eggs 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips Makes 3 dozen If we had the specified amount of ingredients listed, could we make 4 dozen cookies? What if we had 6 eggs and twice as much of everything else, could we make 9 dozen cookies? What if we only had one egg, could we make 3 dozen cookies?

  10. Limiting Reactant • Most of the time in chemistry we have more of one reactant than we need to completely use up other reactant. • That reactant is said to be in excess (there is too much). • The other reactant limits how much product we get. Once it runs out, the reaction s. This is called the limiting reactant.

  11. LimitingReactant Limiting Reactant: Example • 10.0g of aluminum reacts with 35.0 grams of chlorine gas to produce aluminum chloride. Which reactant is limiting, which is in excess, and how much product is produced? 2 Al + 3 Cl2 2 AlCl3 • Start with Al: • Now Cl2: 10.0 g Al 1 mol Al 2 mol AlCl3 133.5 g AlCl3 27.0 g Al 2 mol Al 1 mol AlCl3 = 49.4g AlCl3 35.0g Cl2 1 mol Cl2 2 mol AlCl3 133.5 g AlCl3 71.0 g Cl2 3 mol Cl2 1 mol AlCl3 = 43.9g AlCl3

  12. LR Example Continued • We get 49.4g of aluminum chloride from the given amount of aluminum, but only 43.9g of aluminum chloride from the given amount of chlorine. Therefore, chlorine is the limiting reactant. Once the 35.0g of chlorine is used up, the reaction comes to a complete .

  13. Limiting Reactant Practice • 15.0 g of potassium reacts with 15.0 g of iodine. Calculate which reactant is limiting and how much product is made.

  14. Finding the Amount of Excess • By calculating the amount of the excess reactant needed to completely react with the limiting reactant, we can subtract that amount from the given amount to find the amount of excess. • Can we find the amount of excess potassium in the previous problem?

  15. Finding Excess Practice • 15.0 g of potassium reacts with 15.0 g of iodine. 2 K + I2 2 KI • We found that Iodine is the limiting reactant, and 19.6 g of potassium iodide are produced. 15.0 g I2 1 mol I2 2 mol K 39.1 g K 254 g I2 1 mol I2 1 mol K = 4.62 g K USED! 15.0 g K – 4.62 g K = 10.38 g K EXCESS Given amount of excess reactant Amount of excess reactant actually used Note that we started with the limiting reactant! Once you determine the LR, you should only start with it!

  16. Limiting Reactant: Recap • You can recognize a limiting reactant problem because there is MORE THAN ONE GIVEN AMOUNT. • Convert ALL of the reactants to the SAME product (pick any product unless told to do a certain one) • The lowest answer is the correct answer. • The reactant that gave you the lowest answer is the LIMITING REACTANT. • The other reactant(s) are in EXCESS. • To find the amount of excess: Use the Limiting reactant to find out how much of the other reactant was used. Then subtract the amount used from the given amount of the excess reactant. • If you have to find more than one product, be sure to start with the limiting reactant.

  17. Percent Yields • Theoretical yield: max amount of a product that is formed in a reaction. • Actual yield: amount of product that is actually obtained in a reaction • Usually less than theoretical. Why?

  18. Why? • Theoretical has assumed that all of limiting reagent has completely reacted. • Many reactions do not go to completion • Unexpected competing side reactions limit the formation of products. • Some reactants are lost during the separation process (remember in the lab, pouring off water, leaving silver behind!) • Impure reactants • Faulty measuring • Poor experimental design or technique

  19. How to calculate? Percent Yield = Actual Yield x 100% Theoretical yield

  20. Practice together: 20g of HBrO3 is reacted with excess HBr. • What is the theoretical yield of Br2? • What is the percent yield, if 47.3g is produced? HBrO3 + 5HBr  3H2O + 3 Br2

  21. Practice alone: When 35g of Ba(NO3)2 is reacted with excess Na2SO4, 29.8g of BaSO4 is recovered. Ba(NO3)2 +Na2SO4 BaSO4 + 2NaNO3 • Calculate the theoretical yield of BaSO4 • Calculate the percent yield of BaSO4
