For each of the following reactions provide a balanced chemical equation suppose exactly 5.00g of each reactant is taken. Determine which reactant is limiting and calculate what mass of each product is expected . (Assume that the liminting reactant is completely consumed).
S + 2 H2SO4 --------------------> 3 SO2 + 2 H2O
32g 196 g 192 g 36g
5 g 5g
here limiting reagent is H2SO4. so product is formed based on limiting reagent.
196 g H2SO4 -------------------- 192 g SO2
5 g H2SO4 ----------------- ??
mass of SO2 = 5 x 192 / 196
= 4.9 g
196 g of H2SO4 ------------------- 36 g H2O
5 g of H2SO4 ------------------- ??
mass of water = 5 x 36 / 196
= 0.92 g
