Question
Chapter 4, Problem 5CO
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
It is required to understand the quantitative relation between products and reactants in order to find the required amount of reactant to produce a certain amount of product.
Concept introduction:
- The limiting reactant is the species that will determine how much of a product will be formed.
- Species that do not determine the amount of product that will be formed are said to be in excess.
- At the end of a reaction the limiting reactant will be consumed completely and there will be something left from the excess reactants.
