WHY CAN’T I USE ALL MY BUILDING
BLOCKS? (REACTANTS)
•WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH OF EACH OF THE BLOCKS TO BUILD FULL PRODUCTS
•SOME REACTANTS ARE LEFT OVER BUT ONE REACTANT GETS COMPLETELY USED UP!

Q - How many moles of NO are produced if 4 mol NH3 are burned in 5 mol O2?
Given: 4NH3 + 5O2 6H2O + 4NO
4 mol NO, works out PERFECTLY – both reactants are completely used up
Here, NH3 limits the production of NO; If there was more NH3, more NO would be produced
NH3 is called the “limiting reagent” and O2 is in “excess
4 mol NO, with leftover O2
Given: 4NH3 + 5O2 6H2O + 4NO
Q - How many moles of NO are produced if 4 mol NH3 are burned in 20 mol O2?
On your worksheet: How many moles of NO are produced if
4 mol NH3 are burned in 2.5 mol O2?
2 mol NO, with leftover NH3
• Here, O2 limits the production of NO; if there was more O2, more NO would be produced
• Thus, O2 is called the “limiting reagent” and NH3 is in excess!
How can I tell which reactant is the limiting
reagent?Use a comparison chart between what
we have and what the balanced equation says we need…
NH3 O2
What we have Mole given Mole given
From the question
Mole ratio calculated
What we need Ratio in balanced equation
Ok… let’s try it!!4NH3 + 5O2 6H2O + 4NO
3.2 mol NH3 reacts with 1.6 mol O2
-which reactant will limit the production of the reactants?
NH3 O2
What we have
What we need
Comparison chartComparison chart
3.2 1.6
3.2/1.6 = 2 mol
1.6/1.6 = 1 mol
4/5 = 0.8 5/5 = 1
There is more NH3 than needed to react all the O2.
So O2 is the limiting reagent which makes NH3 the
excess reagent!• Now you can use the limiting
reagent moles to calculate how much product you can make!
Limiting reagents in stoichiometryLimiting reagents in stoichiometry
How many moles of NO are produced if 0.25 moles NH3 are burned in 0.56 mol O2? (make a chart)

mol= 0.25 mol NH3 =0.25 mol NO
0.25 mol NH3 is the limiting reagent

3. What is the limiting reactant when 0.1372 mol of aluminum reacts with 0.1264 mol of MnO2? How many moles of the aluminum product should be yielded from this reaction?

4/3 = 1.33 3/3 = 1
So, based on the balanced equation, to use all the MnO2 I would need
more Aluminum than I have?
Aluminum is the LIMITING REACTANT!
Mol Al2O3 made = 0.1372 mol Al x 2 mol Al2O3
4 mol Al = 0.0686 mol
4. If 0.434 mol of both reactants are combined, which will be the limiting reagent?
What is the theoretical (predicted) maximum mass of manganese that can be yielded from this reaction?
LIMITING REACTANT IS aluminum
Theoretical maximum of Mn is 0.3255 mol which (using mm of Mn) converts to 17.88 g
•Sometimes the question is more complicated. For example, if grams of the two reactants are given instead of moles we must first determine moles, then decide which is limiting …

Q - How many g NO are produced if 20 g NH3 is burned in 30 g O2?
A - First we need to calculate the number of moles of each reactant

Comparison chartComparison chart
A – Once the number of moles of each is calculated-find the LR…
A - There is more NH3 (what we have) than needed (what we need). Thus NH3 is in excess, and O2 is the limiting reagent.
StoichiometryStoichiometry1) Expressed all chemical quantities as moles
2) Determined the limiting reagent via a chart 3) Use the limiting reagent to determine how
much product can be made

another way (without using a chart)…• Do two separate calculations using both given
