Question 6
a) Define the concept of a limiting reactant and explain its significance in predicting product yields. [3]
b) Given the reaction: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, if 4 moles of hydrogen gas react with 2 moles of oxygen gas, identify the limiting reactant and the number of moles of water produced. [3]
Question 7
a) Describe the importance of balancing chemical equations in stoichiometric calculations. [3]
b) For the reaction: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃, if 28 grams of nitrogen gas reacts with an excess of hydrogen gas, calculate the mass of ammonia produced. (Given: Molar mass of N₂ = 28 g/mol, NH₃ = 17 g/mol) [3]
Question 8
a) Define the term 'percentage yield' and explain factors that might affect it in real-world reactions. [4]
