Question

Salt mixture: 2.64 g

Mass of filter paper: 1.223 g

Mass of filter paper and CaC2O4⋅H2O: 1.997 g

Mass of air-dried CaC2O4⋅H2O: 0.774g

1. If the limiting reactant was found to be K2C2O4⋅H2O, how many grams of the limiting reactant are in the salt mixture?

2. Based on how many grams of limiting reactant you calculated, how many grams of excess reactant are in the salt mixture?

3. What amount (in grams) of excess reactant is left unreacted after the reaction is complete?

4. What is the mass percent of your limiting reactant?
5. What is the mass percent of your excess reactant?
