Document Summary
The reactant which is completely consumed in a chemical reaction. 3 atoms of carbon and 2 molecules of oxygen react until one is used up. The reaction will stop when 2 molecules of oxygen are used up. The theoretical amount of product that can be produced in a reaction based on the amount of limiting reagent. The amount of product that is actually isolated in the reaction. If we begin with 0. 552mol al and 0. 887mol cl2, what is the limiting reactant and the theoretical yield of alcl3. 0. 887mol cl2 x 2mol alcl3 = 0. 591 mol alcl3. **from the 2 equations, the reactant which produces the least product is the limiting reactant (reagent) **least amount of product is the theoretical yield. When 11. 5g c are reacted with 114. 5g cu2o, 87. 4g cu are obtained. Find the limiting reactant, the theoretical yield, and the % yield. 114. 5g cu2o x 1mol cu2o x 2mol cu x 63. 55g cu = 101. 7g cu.
