Answers:
1. C 2. C 3. A 4. D 5. A

6. a. 2C4H10 + 13O2  8CO2 + 10H2O

13 moles O 2
b. 25.90 moles CO 2 x = 42.09 moles O 2
8 moles CO 2
8 moles CO 2
c. 0.625 moles C4 H10 x = 2.50 moles CO 2
2 moles C4 H10
8 moles CO 2
3.5 moles O 2 x = 2.2 moles CO 2
13 moles O 2

Therefore, O2 is the LR

2.50 moles CO 2 - 2.15 moles CO 2 = 0.35 moles CO 2 that didn't get made
2 moles C4 H10
0.35 moles CO 2 x = 0.087 moles C4 H10 leftover
8 moles CO 2
d. OR
2 moles C4 H10
2.15 moles CO 2 made x = 0.538 moles C4 H10 used
8 moles CO 2
0.625 moles C4 H10 start - 0.538 moles C4 H10 used = 0.087 moles C4 H10 leftover

7. a. 3Li2CrO4(aq) + 2FeCl3(aq)  6LiCl(aq) + Fe2(CrO4)3(s)

1 mol Li 2 CrO 4 6 mol LiCl

b. 25.34 g Li 2 CrO 4 x = 0.1951 mol Li 2 CrO 4 x = 0.3902 mol LiCl
129.8756 g Li 2 CrO 4 3 mol Li 2 CrO 4

1 mol FeCl3 6 mol LiCl

21.735 g FeCl3 x = 0.13400 mol FeCl3 x = 0.40199 mol LiCl
162.204 g FeCl3 2 mol FeCl3

Li2CrO4 is the limiting reactant, FeCl3 is the excess reactant.

42.394 g LiCl
c. 0.3902 mol LiCl x = 16.54 g LiCl
1 mol LiCl

d.
experimental mass = 12.0 g LiCl
theoretical mass = 16.54 g LiCl

12.0 g LiCl
x 100 = 72.54% yield
16.54 g LiCl
