Limiting Reactants

CHEM1305 Introductory Chemistry

Chapter 9 Discussion

Limiting Reactants

This discussion is an activity. Please click on the following link (Links to an external site.) to visit the Reactants, Products and Leftovers simulator.

Click on the simulator, and take some time to practice the limiting reactant concept first with the ‘Sandwiches’ option and next the ‘Molecules’ option

When you feel you have had enough practice, choose the ‘Game’ option

Practice with the ‘Level 1’ game (you will see in each game, you have a few attempts to get the right answer)

Next, choose the ‘Level 2’ game

Once there, you will choose one of the 5 challenges within the game to report on

For the challenge you pick, you must report:

the balanced chemical equation

number of molecules of the reactants for your example

number of molecules of the products for your example

number of molecules of the leftovers for your example

 Here is an example to show how you should report your findings:

1 H2  +  1 F2  →  2 HF

5 H2  and  4 F2

8 HF

1 H2  and  0 F2

 I have included screenshots of the example below. You DO NOT need to upload any screenshots, I have only put them here to help guide you.
