Lab: Limiting Reactant and Percent Yield
Student Guide
Pre-Lab Information
Purpose Explore the yield of a chemical reaction by identifying the limiting reactant, comparing the
theoretical and actual yields, and explaining the sources of error.
Time Approximately 45 minutes
Question While observing a chemical reaction, how can you tell which reactant is limiting?
Reaction The reaction of copper(II) chloride and aluminum is shown in this balanced equation:
3CuCl2 + 2Al 2AlCl3 + 3Cu
Hypothesis If a substance is the limiting reactant, then it will be fully consumed by the time the
reaction completes because it is the reactant that reacts completely and the reaction
cannot proceed further.
Summary You will react copper(II) chloride with different quantities of aluminum in two trials. You
will also calculate percent yield for Trial 2.

Percent ionization for a weak acid (ha) is determined by the following formula: percent ionization=[ha] ionized[ha] initial×100%for strong acids, ionization is nearly complete (100%) at most concentrations. however, for weak acids, the percent ionization changes significantly with concentration. the more diluted the acid is, the greater percent ionization.a certain weak acid, ha, has a ka value of 9.4×10? 7.part acalculate the percent ionization of ha in a 0.10 m solution.part bcalculate the percent ionization of ha in a 0.010 m solution
