The reactant which is entirely consumed in the reaction is known as a limiting

reagent.

In the reaction 2A + 4B → 3C + 4D, when 5 moles of A react with 6 moles of B, then

(i) Which is the limiting reagent?

(ii) Calculate the amount of C formed?

Answer.

2A + 4B ⟶ 3C + 4D

According to the above equation, 2 moles of ‘A’ require 4 moles of ‘B’ for the reaction. As a
result, the moles of ‘B’ required for 5 moles of ‘A’ are 10 moles.

(i) The limiting agent is B, as 5 moles of A requires 10 moles of B but only 6 moles are
present.

(ii) The amount of ‘C’ formed will be determined by the amount of ‘B’ formed. Since 4
moles of ‘B’ produce 3 moles of ‘C’. As a result, 6 moles of ‘B’ will produce

1 .) A solution contains 40 g of common salt in 320 g of water. Calculate the

concentration in terms of mass by mass percentage of the solution
Mas of common salt (solute)=40 g

Mass of water (soluted) =320 g

mass of solution=320+40

=360 g
concentration of solution=massofsolutionMmassofsolute×100

36040×100=11.11%

Hence, the concentration of the solution is 11.11%

2.)Write the balanced chemical equations for the following reactions.

(a) Calcium hydroxide + Carbon dioxide → Calcium carbonate + Water

(b) Zinc + Silver nitrate → Zinc nitrate + Silver

(c) Aluminium + Copper chloride → Aluminium chloride + Copper

(d) Barium chloride + Potassium sulphate → Barium sulphate + Potassium

chloride
(a) Calcium hydroxide + Carbon dioxide → Calcium carbonate +
Water

Ca(OH)2+CO2→CaCO3+H2O

(b) Zinc + Silver nitrate → Zinc nitrate + Silver

Zn+2AgNO3→Zn(NO3)2+2Ag

(c) Aluminium + Copper chloride → Aluminium chloride + Copper

2Al+3CuCl2→2AlCl3+3Cu

(d) Barium chloride + Potassium sulphate → Barium sulphate +

Potassium chloride

BaCl2+K2SO4→BaSO4+2KCl

3 ) Cytochrome c is an iron-containing enzyme found in the cells of all aerobic
organisms. If cytochrome c is 0.43% Fe (atomic mass = 56 amu) by weight, then
the minimum molecular weight (Kg.mol−1) is 6.5X. Then X is:

Let the molar mass be =M.

If 0.43% Fe has molar mass=100 g.

Then, 56 g Fe has molar mass=0.43100×56=13023.26=13Kg mol−1.

Hence, X=2.

.) (a) For partially dried clay

Per cent of silica is 50%, per cent of water is 43%. Hence, percent of
silica + water is 50+7=57 %.

The percent of impurity =100−57=43 %

The ratio of weight of silica to weight of impurity =4350.

(b) For original sample,

percent of water is 12%, the percent of silica + impurity =100−12=88.

Let x be the percentage of silica.

88−xx=4350

x=47 %

Hence, the percentage of silica in the original sample is 47%.
