Limiting Reagents

In this limiting reagents activity, students solve 10 problems. They calculate limiting reagents, they calculate percent yield of particular compounds and they determine how much of products can be produced based on the limiting reagents.

A half-page, seven-question query on the stoichiometric process makes up this resource. Cut the page in half for two identical quizzes. Junior chemists balance equations and compute the percent yield or the mass of products for seven...

In this limiting reagent learning exercise, students complete 5 short answer questions based on copper chloride reactions. They balance an equation, calculate the amount of product and determine the limiting reagent.

Twelve questions about the various calculations of mass and yield are given here.  There is significant practice of molarity calculations and consideration of the reactant and product balance.

Four balanced chemical equations are presented for your pupils to analyze. They identify limiting reagents and use dimensional analysis to compute products. This practical worksheet is one that you will want to keep in your repertoire to...

An installment from the Socratica chemistry video series explains limiting reactants. It includes multiple example problems to demonstrate how scientists control for these limiting reagents.

Sal continues his look at "Stoichiometry," which is the calculation of measureable relationships of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction. Sal sets up a balanced chemical equation and then, using the Periodic Table of...

Another problem from a chemistry textbook is utilized to illustrate the concept of Limiting Reactants. Sal sets up a reaction between carbon monoxide and hydrogen in order to produce methanol - which is the fuel used in race car engines....

Textbook problems with a twist! Young chemists analyze an ionic reaction to identify the limiting reagent. They then make calculations to determine the concentration of unknown solutions. Finally, they put their work to the test and...

Time to test the limits! Young scientists make limiting reagent calculations and test their math using a virtual lab simulation. Using their knowledge of ionic compounds, they determine the limiting reagents and the excess compounds.
