Question 5

Which of the following best describes a limiting reactant in a chemical reaction?

Accepted Answer

The reactant that determines the maximum amount of product that can be formed.

Question 6

A reaction has a theoretical yield of 10.0 g, but only 7.5 g of product is actually obtained. What is the percent yield?

Accepted Answer

$$75\%$$

Question 7

Which of the following is a correct balanced equation for the combustion of propane ($$\mathrm{C}_3\mathrm{H}_8$$)?

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

$$25.0\ \mathrm{mL}$$

Question 11

Which of the following best describes a precipitation reaction?

A reaction in which an insoluble solid forms when two solutions are mixed.

Question 12

Which of the following is the correct molar mass of calcium nitrate, $$\mathrm{Ca(NO}_3)_2$$?

Accepted Answer

$$164\ \mathrm{g/mol}$$

Question 13

If 2.00 g of hydrogen gas reacts with 16.0 g of oxygen gas to form water, which reactant is limiting and what mass of water is produced? ($$\mathrm{H}_2 + \frac{1}{2}\mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O})$$
