Question

50.0 g of C3H8 reacts with 50.0 g of O2 to produce CO2 and H2O. The limiting reactant is 02. The
equation for the reaction is
C3H8(g) + 5O2 (g) →
3CO2 (g) + 4H20 (1)
a) What is the significance of the limiting reagent in predicting the amount of the product
obtained in a reaction?
b) Calculate the theoretical yield (in grams) of water (H2O) that would form according to the
above chemical reaction.
c) If the percentage yield of water (H2O) in the above reaction is 88.5 %, calculate the
experimental yield of water (in grams).
d) Calculate the moles and mass of excess reactant remaining at the end of the reaction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

c) If the percentage yield of water (H2O) in the above reaction is 88.5 %, calculate the

experimental yield of water (in grams).
