Document Summary

1 mole = 6. 022 x 10^23 objects limiting reactant (or limiting reagent): the reactant in a chemical reaction that limits the amount of product that can be formed. The reaction will stop when all of the limiting reactant is consumed. Now we will determine the number of moles for hydrogen and oxygen. Do not be fooled: you may get confused because there are 2 moles of h2 in the reaction. Because of this you may want to divide 2 mol h2 by 2. 02 g h2. When determining the amount of moles in a reactant in this sort of problem, do not pay attention to the coefficient. Use one of the molar amounts above to determine how much of the other element is needed to react completely with the chosen element. We will use h2 for this step. However, using o2 would also be acceptable: 0. 099 mol h2 x (1 mol o2 / 2 mol h2) = 0. 0495 mol o2.
