The reaction provided shows the combustion of pentane in oxygen, forming carbon dioxide and water.To determine the limiting reactant, compare the mole ratio of the reactants based on the balanced chemical equation:- **1 mole of \(\text{C}_5\text{H}_{12}\)** requires **8 moles of \(\text{O}_2\)**.- The given amounts are **0.111 moles of \(\text{C}_5\text{H}_{12}\)** and **0.313 moles of \(\text{O}_2\)**.Calculate the amount of \(\text{O}_2\) required for 0.111 moles of \(\text{C}_5\text{H}_{12}\):\[ 0.111 \text{ moles C}_5\text{H}_{12} \times 8 = 0.888 \text{ moles O}_2 \]Since only 0.313 moles of \(\text{O}_2\) are available, \(\text{O}_2\) is the limiting reactant. **Chemistry Problem Set**1. **Problem on Theoretical Yield:** **b.** What is the theoretical yield (in grams) of carbon dioxide and water for this reaction?2. **Ammonia Synthesis Reaction:** Hydrogen reacts with nitrogen to form ammonia by the following equation: \[ 3 \text{H}_2(g) + \text{N}_2(g) \rightarrow 2 \text{NH}_3(g) \] **a.** What is the limiting reactant if 1.60 g of hydrogen are mixed with 6.90 g of nitrogen? **b.** What is the theoretical yield of ammonia (in grams)? **c.** Calculate the percent yield of ammonia when 7.45 grams of ammonia was experimentally obtained from the reaction.
