Limiting reactant

BIEK 2025
200 grams of 𝐾2 𝐶𝑟2 𝑂7 reacted with 200 grams of concentrated 𝐻2 𝑆𝑂4 . Calculate;
# Mass of atomic oxygen produced # Mass of reactant left unreacted
𝐾2 𝐶𝑟2 𝑂7 + 𝐻2 𝑆𝑂4 → 𝐾2 𝑆𝑂4 + 𝐶𝑟2 𝑆𝑂4 3 + 4𝐻2 𝑂 + 3[𝑂]
Percentage Yield

Magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide (MgO).


2Mg + 𝑂2 → 2𝑀𝑔𝑂
if 4g of magnesium reacts with excess of 𝑂2 to produce 4.24g of MgO.
Calculate %age yield of MgO.
