    LIMITING
    REACTANT
    • The reactant that is completely used
    up in the reaction is the limiting
    reactant.

    • The other reactant that is not


    completely consumed in the
    reaction is the excess reactant.
    • In a dance party when a slow song is
    played, the students normally form pairs
    (boy-girl pair) to dance. If there are 8 boys
    and 20 girls, only 8 boys will be able to pair
    up with the boys to dance.

    In the scenario, who do you think are


    the limiting reactant?
    3H2 + N2  2NH3

    If 6.60 mole hydrogen gas (H2) are made to react with


    4.42 moles o nitrogen gas (N2).

    a. What is limiting reactant?


    b. B. How many moles of NH3 will be produced?
    c. What is the reagent reactant and by how much?
    Consider the reaction between aluminum
    and chlorine.

    2 Al + 3 Cl2  2 AlCl3
    Mole reactants available: 3 mol Al and 3 mol Cl2
    Mole reactants consumed: 2 mol Al and 3 mol Cl2
    Mole reactants not reacted: 1 mole Al and 0 mol Cl2
    Sample Problem 1. In an experiment, 5.00 g aluminum is
    heated with 25.0 g sulfur to form aluminum sulfide. The
    equation for the reaction is:

    2Al + 3S  Al2S3
    a. How many grams of aluminum sulfide will be formed?

    b. How many grams of excess reactant will remain?


    Sample Problem 1. In an experiment, 5.00 g aluminum is
    heated with 25.0 g sulfur to form aluminum sulfide. The
    equation for the reaction is:
    2Al + 3S  Al2S3
    a. How many grams of aluminum sulfide will be formed?
    b. How many grams of excess reactant will remain?
    Step 1. Identify the limiting reactant by calculating the amount of product formed from each of the
    given amounts of reactants.
    Step 2. Using the value for the number of moles of the limiting reactant, calculate the mass of the
    unknown using its molar mass.
    Sample Problem 2. If 145 g N2H4 and 175 g N2O4 are allowed
    to react. The equation for the reaction is:
    2N2H4 + N2O4  N2 + 4H2O
    a. What is the limiting reactant?
    b. What is the mass of the excess?
    c. What is the mass of the water?

    Step 1. Identify the limiting reactant by calculating the amount of product formed from each of the
    given amounts of reactants.
    Step 2. Using the value for the number of moles of the limiting reactant, calculate the mass of the
    unknown using its molar mass.
    Sample Problem 3. The refrigerant Freon-12 CCl2F2, is
    prepared by the reaction of carbon tetrachloride with antimony
    trifluoride.
    3CCl4 + 2SbF3  CCl2F + SbCl3
    If 0.200 g CCl4 is mixed with 0.175 g SBF3, how many
    grams of CCl2F2 is formed?
    Step 1. Identify the limiting reactant by calculating the amount of product formed from each of the
    given amounts of reactants.
    Step 2. Using the value for the number of moles of the limiting reactant, calculate the mass of the
    unknown using its molar mass.
    Sample Problem 4. Potassium superoxide, KO2, is used in
    rebreathing gas masks to produce oxygen. The reaction of
    potassium superoxide with water is given.
    4KO2 + 2H2O  4KOH + 3O2
    How many moles of oxygen, O2, are formed in the
    reaction of 28.5 g KO2 and 1.88 mol H2O?
    Step 1. Identify the limiting reactant by calculating the amount of product formed from each of the
    given amounts of reactants.
    Step 2. Using the value for the number of moles of the limiting reactant, calculate the mass of the
    unknown using its molar mass.
