  1. Find the limiting reagent in a chemical reaction with known quantities.
    Consider the reaction:

    2H2+_2 + O2_2 →2H2_2 O

    1. 50 g of O2_2 gas and 50 g of H2_2 gas were reacted together.
      Which reagent is the limiting reagent?
    2. What mass of the other reagent is in excess?
  2. Find the limiting reagent in a chemical reaction with known quantities.
    Consider the reaction:

    2C6_6H14+_{14} + 19O2_2 →12CO2+_2 + 14H2_2O

    1. If 120 g of O2_2 and 150 g of C6_6H14_{14} are reacted together, what is the limiting reagent?
    2. How many grams of the excess reagent are present in excess?
  3. Find the limiting reagent in a chemical reaction with known quantities.
    500 g of Fe2_2O3_3 is reacted with 750 g of C in the reaction:

    2Fe2_2O3  (s)+_{3\;(s)} + 3C  (s)_{\;(s)} →4Fe  (s)+_{\;(s)} + 3CO2  (g)_{2\;(g)}

    1. What mass of Fe is produced?
    2. What is the limiting reagent in this reaction?
    3. How many extra grams of this reagent are in excess?
  4. Find the limiting reagent in a chemical reaction with known quantities.
    45 g of Ca3_3(PO4_4)2_2 is reacted with 36 g C and 85 g SiO2_2 according to the reaction:

    2Ca3_3(PO4_4)2+_2 + 6SiO2+_2 + 10C→P4+_4 + 6CaSiO3+_3 + 10CO

    1. What mass of P4_4 can be made from these quantities?
    2. What is the limiting reagent?
    3. Find the excess mass of both excess reagents.
