Limiting Reactants Worksheet

Using your knowledge of stoichiometry and limiting reagents, answer the following questions:
1. a) Write the balanced equation for the reaction of lead (II) nitrate with sodium iodide to form sodium nitrate and lead
(II) iodide
b) If I start with 25.0 grams of lead (II) nitrate and 15.0 grams of sodium iodide, indicate the limiting reactant and state
how many grams of sodium nitrate can be formed? (8.51 g)
c) How much of the nonlimiting reagent will be left over? (8.38g)

2. Methyl alcohol (wood alcohol), CH3OH, is produced via the reaction: CO(g) + 2 H2(g) 🡪 CH3OH (l)
A mixture of 1.20 g H2(g) and 7.45 g CO(g) are allowed to react.
Which reagent is the limiting reactant and how much of the excess reactant is left over? (CO, 0.13 g H2)
3. Consider the following reaction: 3 NH4NO3 + Na3PO4 🡪 (NH4)3PO4 + 3 NaNO3
Assuming we started with 30.0 grams of ammonium nitrate and 50.0 grams of sodium phosphate:
a) Which of the reagents is the limiting reagent?
b) What is the maximum amount of each product that can be formed? (18.6g(NH4)3PO4, 31.9gNaNO3)
c) How much of the other reagent is left over after the reaction is complete? (29.5g)

4. Consider the following reaction: 3 CaCO3 + 2 FePO4 🡪 Ca3(PO4)2 + Fe2(CO3)3


Assuming we start with 100 grams of calcium carbonate and 45 grams of iron (III) phosphate.
a) Which of the reagents is the limiting reagent?
b) What is the maximum amount of each product that can be formed? (46.3gCa3(PO4)2, 43.8gFe2(CO3)3)
c) How much of the other reagent is left over after the reaction is complete (54.0g)

5. When copper (II) chloride reacts with sodium nitrate, copper (II) nitrate and sodium chloride are formed.
a) If 15 grams of copper (II) chloride react with 20 grams of sodium nitrate, how much NaCl can be formed? (13g)
b) How much of the nonlimiting reagent is left over in this reaction? (1.1g)
