Chapter U4.26, Problem 1E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The explanation to determine the amount of product formed from two compounds is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The reagent in a reaction that controls the amount of product formed is termed as limiting reagent. After completion of the chemical reaction, the limiting reagent is fully utilized.

Answer to Problem 1E

Firstly, the number of moles of A and B will be determined. After the number of moles, the limiting reagent is determined. Using the limiting reagent and stoichiometric coefficient, the number of moles of product C will be determined. The amount of product C is determined by multiplying the number of moles of C to its molar mass.

Explanation of Solution

Let’s take two compounds A and B which reacts together to form product C. The reaction is shown below.

  $\text{A}+\text{B}\to \text{C}$

Firstly, the number of moles of A and B will be determined. After calculating the number of moles of two compounds, the limiting reagent will be determined. The reagent in the reaction that controls the amount of product formed is termed as limiting reagent.

After identifying the limiting reagent, the number of moles of product C can be determined by using a stoichiometric coefficient calculation. The amount of product C is determined by multiplying the number of moles of C to its molar mass.

Conclusion

Firstly, the number of moles of A and B will be determined. After the number of moles, the limiting reagent is determined. Using the limiting reagent and stoichiometric coefficient, the number of moles of product C will be determined. The amount of product C is determined by multiplying the number of moles of C to its molar mass.
