Wong-Chemistry period 1 team 11

We combined NaOH and CuSO4 which is sodium hydroxide and cupric sulfate. These reactants produced Cu(OH)2 (S) and Na2SO4( Aq).     The precipitate is Cu(OH)2 because that was the solid formed in the reaction        Video Link (via YouTube):                https://youtu.be/7PQGmp2tSWU    By: Brady Pauken, Steven Nakamura, Jacob Brandis, and Tyson Garcia

What are the limiting and excess reagents for each flask? How did you determine this?        For the first 3 flasks, the limiting reactant was the baking soda. For the 4th flask, the vinegar was the limiting reactant. You can easily determine this by seeing if there is baking soda left in the flask. if there is, then the vinegar was all used up, so the reaction cannot continue. However, if there is no baking soda left this means that it was used up and is the limiting reactant. 2. How is the amount of product in a reaction affected by an insufficient quantity of any of the reactants (reagents)?        The amo...
