Limiting Reactant

Limiting Reactant. 1 frame and 3 wheels are needed to create one tricycle. If I have 10 frames and 12 wheels, how many tricycles can I make?. 4. I have excess frames. My wheels limit how many tricycles I can make. Limiting reactant is the reactant that is all consumed.

  1. Limiting Reactant 1 frame and 3 wheels are needed to create one tricycle If I have 10 frames and 12 wheels, how many tricycles can I make? 4 I have excess frames. My wheels limit how many tricycles I can make.

  2. Limiting reactant is the reactant that is all consumed. Excess reactant is the reactant that is not all consumed.

  3. N2H4 + 2H2O2gN2 + 4H2O Which is the limiting reactant when 0.750 moles of N2H4 is mixed with 0.500 mole of H2O2? How much water will form if all reactants react? 0.750 mole N2H4 x 4mole H2O = 3.0 mole H2O 1 mole N2H4 0.500 mole H2O2 x 4 mole H2O = 1.00 mole H2O 2 mole H2O2 limiting

  4. N2H4 + 2H2O2gN2 + 4H2O excess limiting How much of the excess reactant (in moles) remains unchanged? 0.500 moles H2O2 x 1 mole N2H4 = .250 mole N2H4 2 mole H2O2 0.750 mole - .250 mole = .500 mole N2H4

  5. Summary Determine how much product will form if all of each reactant reacts. The reactant which forms the least amount of product is the limiting reactant. The amount of limiting reactant determines how much product can be formed.
