Worksheet: Limiting Reactants Name

The document provides examples of stoichiometry problems involving limiting reactants. It gives two sample balanced chemical equations and asks the reader to identify the limiting and excess reactants given amounts of reactants. It also asks the reader to calculate amounts of products using mole ratios from the balanced equations.

Worksheet: Limiting Reactants Name______________

KEY

1. BALANCE the equation first. 4 FeCl3 + 3 O2  2 Fe2O3 + 6 Cl2

a. How many moles of chlorine gas can be produced if 4 moles of FeCl3 react
with 4 moles of O2? SHOW ALL WORK!

6 mol Cl2
? mol Cl2 = 4 mol FeCl3 ! = 6 mol Cl2
4 mol FeCl3

6 mol Cl2
? mol Cl2 = 4 mol O2 ! = 8 mol Cl2
3 mol O2

b. What is the limiting reactant?

FeCl3

c. What is the excess reactant?


O2

2. Use the following BALANCED equation.


2 C2H6 + 7 O2  4 CO2 + 6 H2O

a. If 15 g of C2H6 react with 45 g of O2, how many grams of water will be


produced?

1 mol C2 H 6 6 mol H 2 O 18.0 g H 2 O


? g H 2 O = 15 g C2 H 6 ! ! ! = 27 g H 2 O
30.0 g C2 H 6 2 mol C2 H 6 1 mol H 2 O

1 mol O2 6 mol H 2 O 18.0 g H 2 O


? g H 2 O = 45 g O2 ! ! ! = 22 g H 2 O
32.0 g O2 7 mol O2 1 mol H 2 O

b. What is the limiting reactant?


O2
c. What is the excess reactant?
C2H6
