HELP

Sometimes you are given a measured amount of two or more reactants and asked how much product can be formed. Explain what steps you would follow to solve this type of problem.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of product that would be formed from two or more reactants, we need to follow the following steps;

• Find the number of moles of the given reactants.
• Then proceed to determine the limiting reactant. The limiting reactant is the one in short supply which determines the extent of the reaction.
• Use the number of moles of the limiting reactant to find the number of moles of the product.
• Then use this number of moles to find the mass of the product

Useful expression:

Mass = number of moles x molar mass
