Method 1
- Determine the balanced chemical equation for the chemical reaction
- convert all given information into moles through use of molar mass as a conversion factor
- calculate the mole ratio from the given information. Compare the calculated ration to the actual ratio
- use the amount of limiting reactant to calculate the amount of limiting reactant to calculate the amount of product produced.
- if necessary, calculate how much is left in excess of the non-limiting reagent
- Balance the chemical equation for the chemical reaction
- convert the given information into moles
- use stoichiometry for each individual reactant to find the mass of the product produced
- the reactant that produces a lesser amount of product is the limiting reagent
- the reactant that produces a larger amount of product is the excess reagent
- to find the amount of remaining excess reactant, subtract the mass of excess reagent consumed from the total mass of excess reagent given
