  1. Stoichiometry Limiting Reactions and Percentage Yield

  2. Stoichiometry • Objectives • Describe a method for determining which of two reactants is a limiting reactant • Calculate the amount in moles or mass in grams of a product, given the amounts in moles or masses in grams of two reactants, one of which is in excess • Distinguish between theoretical yield, actual yield, and percentage yield • Calculate percentage yield, given the actual yield and quantity of a reactant

  3. Stoichiometry • Limiting Reactions • The limiting reactant is the reactant that limits the amount of the other reactant that can combine and the amount of product that can form in a chemical reaction • The excess reactant is the substance that is not used up completely in a reaction

  4. Stoichiometry • Limiting Reactants • Sample Problem • Silicon dioxide (quartz) is usually quite unreactive but reacts readily with hydrogen fluoride according to the following equation • If 6.0 mol HF is added to 4.5 mol SiO2, which is the limiting reactant? SiO2(s) + 4HF(g) → SiF4(g) + 2H2O(l)

  5. Stoichiometry • Limiting Reactants • Sample Problem Solution • Given: amount of HF = 6.0 mol amount of SiO2 = 4.5 mol • Unknown: limiting reactant

  6. Stoichiometry • Limiting Reactants • Sample Problem Solution HF is the limiting reactant.

  7. Stoichiometry • Percentage Yield • The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be produced from a given amount of reactant • The actual yield of a product is the measured amount of that product obtained from a reaction • The percentage yield is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield, multiplied by 100

  8. Stoichiometry • Percentage Yield • Sample Problem • Chlorobenzene, C6H5Cl, is used in the production of many important chemicals, such as aspirin, dyes, and disinfectants. One industrial method of preparing chlorobenzene is to react benzene, C6H6, with chlorine, as represented by the following equation • When 36.8 g C6H6 react with an excess of Cl2, the actual yield of C6H5Cl is 38.8 g. • What is the percentage yield of C6H5Cl? • C6H6 (l) + Cl2(g) → C6H5Cl(l) + HCl(g)

  9. Stoichiometry • Percentage Yield • Sample Problem Solution • Given: mass of C6H6 = 36.8 g mass of Cl2 = excess actual yield of C6H5Cl = 38.8 g • Unknown: percentage yield of C6H5Cl Theoretical Yield

  15. Stoichiometry In the commercial production of the element arsenic, arsenic(III) oxide is heated with carbon, which reduces the oxide to the metal according to the following equation: 2As2O3 + 3C  3CO2 +4As If 8.87 g of As2O3 is used in the reaction and 5.33 g of As is produced, what is the percentage yield?

  16. Stoichiometry A process by which zirconium metal can be produced from the mineral zirconium(IV) orthosilicate, ZrSiO4, starts by reacting it with chlorine gas to form zirconium(IV) chloride.
