1 Given the amounts find the limiting reactant for cach reac
Solution
Q1)
a) 2NaOH(aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ---------------> Na2SO4 (aq) + 2H2O(l)
6x 1.0 =6 12x0.5 = 6 0 0 initial mmoles
0 3 3 - after reaction
AS NaOH is completely consumed ,NaOH is the limiting reagent
b) 2HCl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(s) ------------------> CaCl2 (aq) + 2H2O(l)
50x1.0 = 50 [ 1.853/74]x103 = 25.04 0 0 initial mmoles
0 0.04 25 - after reaction
AS all the HCl is consumed HCl is the limiting reagent
C) HNO3 (aq) + NaOH (aq) ------------> NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l)
12x0.5 =6 12x1 =12 0 0 initial mmoles
0 6 6 - after reaction
Thus HNO3 which is consumed completely is the limiting reagent.
2) a)
2NaOH(aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ---------------> Na2SO4 (aq) + 2H2O(l) Molecular
2Na+ + 2OH- + 2H+ +SO4-2 --------------> 2Na+ + SO4-2 + 2 H2O (l) total IOnic
2OH- + 2H+ ------------> 2 H2O(l) net ionic equation
b)
2HCl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(s) ------------------> CaCl2 (aq) + 2H2O(l)
Ca+ + 2OH- + 2H+ +2Cl- --------------> Ca+ + 2Cl- + 2 H2O (l) total IOnic
2OH- + 2H+ ------------> 2 H2O(l) net ionic equation
c)
HNO3 (aq) + NaOH (aq) ------------> NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l) molcular
OH- + Na+ + H+ +NO3- ------------> H2O(l) + Na+ +NO3-total ionic equation
OH- + H+ ------------> H2O(l) net ionic equation
