What is the limiting reactant and theoretical yield if 0.483 mol of ti and 0.911 mol clare used in this reaction: ti + 2cl2 → ticle 10)

Answer : The limiting reactant is and the theoretical yield will be 86.45 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of = 0.483 mole

Moles of = 0.911 mole

Molar mass of = 190 g/mole

First we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of react with 1 mole of

So, 0.911 moles of react with moles of

From this we conclude that, is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of .

As, 2 moles of react to give 1 moles of

So, 0.911 moles of react to give moles of

Now we have to calculate the mass of .

Therefore, the theoretical yield will be 86.45 grams.

every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
