be tires since you didnโ€™t have enough to form all the completed cars. The excess reagent is the number of reactants left after a reaction is completed which in this case would be the extra 10 car bodies. However, when the limiting reagent runs out in a chemical equation, we use something called theoretical yield to find the maximum number of products produced. Although, itโ€™s more like a predictable amount of product based on the smallest number of moles from stoichiometric calculations. The other yields obtained from the reaction are called the actual yield and percent yield. The actual yield is the true amount for product produced by the chemical reaction. Itโ€™s always equal or less than the theoretical yield due to small amounts of product leaving the reaction or not forming any products at all. The percent yield is the actual yield over theoretical yield times 100. Solving the experiment using stoichiometry needs an example. Letโ€™s say 5 ml of 1 M NaOH and 0.75 M CaCl 2 are mixed. The mole formula and other equations would be used: ๐‘€๐‘€๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ๐‘€๐‘€๐‘€๐‘€ ๐‘€๐‘€๐‘œ๐‘œ ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ 2 = (0.00500๐ฟ๐ฟ)(0.75 ๐‘š๐‘š๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ/๐ฟ๐ฟ) โˆ’ 0.0038 ๐‘š๐‘š๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ 2 ๐‘€๐‘€๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ๐‘€๐‘€๐‘€๐‘€ ๐‘€๐‘€๐‘œ๐‘œ ๐‘๐‘๐ถ๐ถ๐‘๐‘๐ป๐ป = (0.00500๐ฟ๐ฟ)(1.0 ๐‘š๐‘š๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ/๐ฟ๐ฟ) = 0.0050๐‘š๐‘š๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ ๐‘๐‘๐ถ๐ถ๐‘๐‘๐ป๐ป 0.0038 ๐‘š๐‘š๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ 2 โˆ— 1 ๐‘š๐‘š๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ(๐‘๐‘๐ป๐ป) 2 /1 ๐‘š๐‘š๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ 2 = 0.0038 ๐‘š๐‘š๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ(๐‘๐‘๐ป๐ป) 2 0.0050 ๐‘š๐‘š๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ ๐‘๐‘๐ถ๐ถ๐‘๐‘๐ป๐ป โˆ— 1 ๐‘š๐‘š๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ(๐‘๐‘๐ป๐ป) 2 /2 ๐‘š๐‘š๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ ๐‘๐‘๐ถ๐ถ๐‘๐‘๐ป๐ป = 0.0025 ๐‘š๐‘š๐‘€๐‘€๐ถ๐ถ ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ(๐‘๐‘๐ป๐ป) 2 The limiting reactant would be NaOH due to having less product. The excess reactant would be CaCl 2 for having more product. For this experiment to be solved without using stoichiometry, you need to use test tubes and some paper. Each test tube filled with specific amounts of CaCl 2 and NaOH has water filled filter paper so they can react. The reaction gives off precipitate that you save by putting the papers in an oven. By testing each filtrate with CaCl 2 and NaOH. If the test tube goes cloudy after adding more of the compounds, then it has a limiting reagent. If nothing happens, then it has an excess reagent.

  1. Theoretical Yield for each reaction mixture based on # 2: Test #1: Theoretical yield: 0.002 mol Test #2: Theoretical yield: 0.0035 mol Test #3: Theoretical yield: 0.005 mol Test #4 (Theoretical yield same as test #3 because limiting reagent switched from CaCl NaOH): 2 to

Theoretical yield: 0.005 mol

The limiting reagent in the experiment would be NaOH. The calculations based on the experiment prove it due CaCl 2 produces more moles that NaOH at the last test. In the experiment, the amount of CaCl 2 was the same for each test tube. Due to putting the same amounts of NaOH and CaCl 2 in each test tube, the mass or theoretical yield of the product grew more and more. It started to plateau in the beginning because the theoretical yield using CaCl 2 was produces less product, making it the limiting reagent. As the mass increases, the theoretical yield using CaCl 2 surpassed the theoretical yield using NaOH switching the limiting reagent to NaOH.
