Molecular and Empirical Formula Calculations, Lecture notes of Stoichiometry

A series of calculations related to molecular and empirical formulas, including molar mass, moles of elements, and percent yield. It covers various chemical compounds such as C6H6, H2O, CO2, CH3OH, C2H5OH, and others. The calculations involve determining moles, molecules, and atoms in samples, as well as finding empirical and molecular formulas.

  1. You need to determine the amount of NO(g) produced.

You know that 2.00 mol of NH 3

are reacted with 10.00 mol of O 2

and 6.75 moles of O 2

remains

after the reaction goes to completion. This indicates that NH 3

is the limiting reagent
