Limiting Reactant Problem

Home | General Chemistry 1 | Stoichiometry | Limiting Reactant Problem
Many metals react with oxygen gas to form the metal oxide. When solid calcium and oxygen gas react they form a metal oxide. You wish to calculate the mass of metal oxide that can be prepared from 4.20 g of Ca and 2.80 g of O##_2##
A. Predict the metal oxide product formed when solid calcium and oxygen gas react (include states of matter.) Balance the equation.
B. How many moles of product can be produced from the given mass of Ca?
C. How many moles of product can be produced from the given mass of O##_2## ?
D. What is the limiting reactant?
