Problem 24

Given information

The given mass of  

The given mass of   

The given mass of   

Step-by-step explanation

First, one need to write the balanced equation of the reaction between  and to produce and .

The unbalanced chemical reaction is:

Then, the balanced chemical reaction is:

One will compare their theoretical yields in ( ). The compound that has the lesser amount of theoretical yield is the limiting reactant.

The initial amount of the reactants:   and    

Molar mass

Molar mass  

Thus, the theoretical yield of    

Thus, the theoretical yield of is    .

Therefore, the limiting reactant is .
