Key Is On Next Page Worksheet On Limiting Reactants: Use The Following Equation To Answer Questions 1-4

This document contains a worksheet with questions about limiting reactants. It provides two chemical reactions and asks students to calculate the number of moles of products that can be formed from given amounts of reactants. It then asks which reactant would be limiting if both were used in the reaction. For the first reaction of N2 and H2 to form NH3, it is determined that N2 would be the limiting reactant. For the second reaction of C3H8 and O2 to form H2O and CO2, O2 is identified as the limiting reactant.

Worksheet on Limiting Reactants


Use the following equation to answer questions 1-4.

N2 + H2  NH3
1. How many moles of NH3 can be produced from the reaction of 28 g of N2 ?

2. How many moles of NH3 can be produced from the reaction of 25 g of H2?

3. If 28 g of N2 and 25 g of H2 are reacted together, which one would be the limiting reactant?

Use the following to answer questions 5-8.

C3H8 + O2  H2O + CO2


5. How many moles of water can be produced from the reaction of 28 g of C3H8 ?

6. How many moles of water can be produced from the reaction of 45 g of O2?

7. If 28 g of C3H8 and 45 g of O2 are reacted together, which one would be the limiting
reactant?

Worksheet on Limiting Reactants
Use the following equation to answer questions 1-4.

N2 + 3 H2  2 NH3
1. How many moles of NH3 can be produced from the reaction of 28 g of N2 ?

28 g N2 X 1 mole N2 X 2 moles NH3 = 2 moles NH3


28 g N2 1 mole N2

2. How many moles of NH3 can be produced from the reaction of 25 g of H2?

25 g H2 X 1 mole H2 X 2 moles NH3 = 8.3 moles NH3


2 g H2 3 moles H2

3. If 28 g of N2 and 25 g of H2 are reacted together, which one would be the limiting reactant?

N2 would be the limiting reactant because it only makes 2 moles of NH3 before it is used up.

Use the following to answer questions 5-8.

C3H8 + 5 O2  4 H2O + 3 CO2


5. How many moles of water can be produced from the reaction of 28 g of C3H8 ?

28 g C3H8 X 1 mole C3H8 X 4 moles H2O = 2.55 moles H2O


44 g C3H8 1 moles C3H8

6. How many moles of water can be produced from the reaction of 45 g of O2?

45 g O2 X 1 mole O2 X 4 moles H2O = 1.125 moles H2O


32 g O2 5 moles O2
8. If 28 g of C3H8 and 45 g of O2 are reacted together, which one would be the limiting
reactant?
O2 would be the limiting reactant because it only makes 1.125 moles of H2O before it is used up.
