A chemist is synthesizing a new catalyst using a reaction where 5.00 moles of reactant A react completely with 7.50 moles of reactant B to produce 3.00 moles of product C and 2.00 moles of product D. If the theoretical yield of product C is calculated to be 90.0 grams, and the chemist actually obtains 81.0 grams of product C, what is the percent yield and what is the limiting reactant?
asks for *the* limiting reactant. In a scenario where the reactants are in perfect stoichiometric ratio, either can be considered the limiting reactant as both will be fully consumed. Given the options, and the fact that the question implies a single limiting reactant, we look for the reactant that dictates the amount of product. Since the reaction proceeds with the given amounts, and the theoretical yield is based on the complete consumption of reactants, we can consider reactant A as the basis for determining the theoretical yield of C. The problem states 5.00 moles of A react. If we assume A is the limiting reactant (which it effectively is in a perfect stoichiometric ratio), then the theoretical yield is derived from it. The other options are incorrect because the percent yield is 90.0%, not 81.0%, and the limiting reactant is A (or B, but A is presented as the primary reactant in the phrasing). Question: Consider the combustion of methane (CH4) in excess oxygen: CH4(g) + 2O2(g) -> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g). If 10.0 grams of methane are burned, what mass of water is produced, assuming the reaction goes to completion and all products are gases? (Molar masses: CH4 = 16.04 g/mol, H2O = 18.015 g/mol)
In the context of the OAT Chemical Equation Balancing Course, which of the following principles is MOST fundamental to ensuring the law of conservation of mass is upheld during the balancing process?
