Masses of Individual Atoms
The atomic masses of H, Cl, and Ni are
H = 1.008 amu
Cl = 35.45 amu
Ni = 58.69 amu
Therefore 1.008 g H, 35.45 g Cl, and 58.69 g Ni all have the
same number of atoms: NA
NA = Avogadro’s number = 6.022 × 1023

Must have same number of atoms of each type on both sides.
Achieve this by adjusting coefficients in front of formulas.

Balancing
Example:
Combustion of propane in air to give carbon dioxide and water:
C3H8(g) + O 2(g) → CO 2(g) + H2O(l)
Balance C:
Balance H:
Balance O:
C3H8(g) + O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + H2O(l)
C3H8(g) + O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l)
C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l)
Meaning:
1 mol C3H8 reacts with 5 mol O2 to form 3 mol CO2 and 4 mol
H2O.

3.25
Limiting Reactant, Theoretical Yield
Ordinarily, reactants are not present in the exact ratio required
for reaction.
Instead, one reactant is in excess; some of it is left when the
reaction is over.
The other, limiting reactant, is completely consumed to give the
theoretical yield product.
Copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
3.26
Limiting Reactant, Theoretical Yield (cont.)
To calculate the theoretical yield and identify the limiting
reactant:
Calculate the yield expected if the first reactant is limiting
Repeat this calculation for the second reactant
The theoretical yield is the smaller of these two quantities
The reactant that gives the smaller theoretical yield is the limiting
reactant

Limiting Reactant, Theoretical Yield (cont.)
2Ag(s) + I 2(s) → 2ΑgI(s)
Calculate the theoretical yield of AgI and determine the
limiting reactant starting with 1.00 g Ag and 1.00 g I2.

Limiting Reactant, Theoretical Yield (cont.)
Theoretical yield if Ag is limiting:
469.54 g AgI

Theoretical yield if I2 is limiting:
469.54 g AgI
1.00 g I2 ×
= 1.85 g AgI
253.80 g I2
Theoretical yield = 1.85 g AgI; I2 is limiting reactant
