ACTIVITY TITLE: LIMITING AND EXCESS REACTANTS AND PERCENT AND THEORETICAL YIELD
LEARNING TARGET:
 Explain the concept of limiting reagent in a chemical reaction; identify the excess reagent (s); and
 Calculate percent yield and theoretical yield of the reaction.

CONCEPT NOTE

I. Solve for the following. Be sure to show your complete solutions.

1. Silicon dioxide (quartz) is usually unreactive but reacts with hydrogen fluoride according to
the equation below.
SiO2(s) + 4HF(g)  SiF4(g) + 2H2O(l)

Assume that 6.0 mol HF is added to 4.5 mol SiO2.

2. The balanced equation for the reaction of aluminum metal and chlorine gas is
2Al(s) + 3Cl2(g)  2AlCl3(s)
Assume that 0.45 g Al is mixed with 0.65 g Cl2.
3. A student was synthesizing aspirin in the laboratory. Using the amount of limiting reactant,
she calculated the mass of aspirin that should form as 9.95 g. When she weighed her aspirin
product on the balance, its mass was 7.54 g.
