Ch. 4, #124. When solutions of silver nitrate and sodium carbonate are mixed, solid silver
carbonate is formed and sodium nitrate remains in solution. If a solution containing 12.43 g
of sodium carbonate is mixed with a solution containing 8.37 g silver nitrate, how many
grams of the four species are present after the reaction is complete?
First write a balanced equation:
Na2CO3 +

2 AgNO3

2 NaNO3 +

Ag2CO3

Then get the formula weights for all the compounds:


Na2CO3

105.99 g/mol

AgNO3

169.87 g/mol

NaNO3

84.99 g/mol

Ag2CO3

275.75 g/mol

Compute the moles of sodium carbonate and silver nitrate at the start of reaction:
12.43 g

Na2CO3: 105.99 g / mol ________________ mol


8.37 g

AgNO3 : 169.87 g / mol _______________ mol


This tells us that AgNO3 is the limiting reagent.
Now make table of moles in pot at end of reaction:
0.04927 moles AgNO3 used, none left
0.00 mol x 169.87 g/mol = _______________ g AgNO3
0.02464 moles Na2CO3 used, 0.09266 left -0.09266 mol x 105.99 g/mol = _______________g Na2CO3
0.04927 moles NaNO3 produced
0.04927 mol x 84.99 g/mol = _________________g NaNO3
0.02464 moles Ag2CO3 produced
0.02464 mol x 275.75 g/mol = _________________ g Ag2CO3

Ch. 4, #125. This reaction produces sulfuric acid:


2 SO2 + O2 + 2 H2O

2 H2SO4

If 200. g SO2, 85 g O2, and 66 g H2O are mixed and the reaction proceeds to completion,
which reactant is limiting, how many grams of H2SO4 are produced, and how many grams of
the other two reactants are left over?
First, determine the formula weight for all of the compounds:
SO2

__________ g/mol

O2

__________ g/mol

H2O

__________ g/mol

H2SO4

__________ g/mol

Compute the moles of each reactant at the start of the reaction:

SO2:

O2:

H2O:
Determine the identity of the limiting reactant (i.e., using the stoichiometric coefficients,
which reactant will run out first).
__________
Use limiting reactant to calculate how many moles of H2SO4 are produced.
__________ mol H2SO4
Use formula weight to calculate number of grams of H2SO4 produced.
__________ g H2SO4
Calculate moles of nonlimiting reactants used (i.e., use stoichiometric coefficients).

Subtract the number of moles used from the initial moles of each reactant (note: the number
of moles used for the limiting reactant is the same as the initial number of moles because
reaction proceeds to completion)

Convert moles left over for nonlimiting reactants to grams using formula weights.
