Happy first day of spring everyone! Too bad Mother Nature didn't get the memo.
Today in class students learned how to figure out the limiting reactant in a stoichiometry problem. This is a type of problem where you are given certain amount of each reactant and you have to determine how much product will be formed. This involves doing stoichiometry twice to figure out how much product will be formed with each amount of reactant. Whichever ones produces the lower amount of product is therefore your limiting reactant. It LIMITS the amount of product you can form. We went through an example that outlined this process and then students had time to work on Homework C25 and #15 and 16 from Homework C24. Notes today were on slides 16-24 of the Stoichiometry powerpoint.
