Chemical Analysis

• Law of Definite Proportions:– Different samples of the same compound always contain its constituent elements in the same proportion by mass.

– This means that the ratio of atoms in a compound must be constant.

– Example: We can analyze CO2 from different sources and find that each sample has the same ratio by mass of carbon to oxygen.

Chemical Analysis• Law of Multiple Proportions:

– If two elements can combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in ratios of small numbers

– Different compounds made up of the same elements differ in the number of atoms of each kind that combine.

– Example: Carbon can form two different compounds with oxygen, CO and CO2. The ration of oxygen in each compound is 1:2

Working a Limiting Reactant ProblemNitrogen gas can be prepared by passing gaseous ammonia over solid copper(II) oxide at high temperatures. The other products of the reaction are solid copper and water. If a sample containing 18.1 g of NH3 is reacted with 90.4 g of CuO, which is the limiting reactant and how many grams of N2 will be formed?

1. Identify reactants and products and write the balanced equation.

NH3

+

CuO N2(g)

b. What are the reactants?a. Every reaction needs a yield sign!

c. What are the products?

d. What are the balanced coefficients?

Calculate the amount of product produced using each amount of reactant.

CuO produeces the smaller amount so CuO is the limiting reactant. 10.6 g N2 are produced.

Theoretical and Actual Yield

Theoretical yield: The calculated amount of product produced.Actual yield:The amount produced by performing the experiment.

The percent yield can be calculated using the equation below:
