Answer : The order of steps necessary to calculate the mass of product formed in a chemical reaction given the masses of all reactants :

(1) Determine the number of moles of each reactant by dividing its mass by its molar mass.

(2) Identify the limiting reactant as the reactant that produces the least amount of product.

(3) Determine the amount of product that could be formed from the limiting reactant using appropriate mole ratio.

(4) Determine the mass, multiply the number of moles of product formed (from the limiting reactant) by the molar mass of the product.

For example :

If we are given that 10 grams of magnesium react with 6 grams of oxygen to give magnesium oxide then calculate the mass of product formed in a chemical reaction.

Solution :

Mass of Mg = 10 g

Mass of O_2 = 6 g

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mole

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mole

Molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Mg and O_2 .

$\text{ Moles of }Mg=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Mg}{\text{ Molar mass of }Mg}=\frac{10g}{24g/mole}=0.4167moles$

$\text{ Moles of }O_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }O_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }O_2}=\frac{6g}{32g/mole}=0.1875moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of O_2 react with 2 mole of

So, 0.1875 moles of O_2 react with $0.1875\times 2=0.375$ moles of

From this we conclude that, is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and O_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of MgO

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of O_2 react to give 2 mole of MgO

So, 0.1875 moles of O_2 react to give $0.1875\times 2=0.375$ moles of MgO

Now we have to calculate the mass of MgO

$\text{ Mass of }MgO=\text{ Moles of }MgO\times \text{ Molar mass of }MgO$

$\text{ Mass of }MgO=(0.375moles)\times (40g/mole)=15g$

Hence, the mass of product is 15 grams.
