    Grams
AI Thread Summary
When calculating the limiting reactant for Lead II Nitrate and Potassium Chromate, both calculations resulted in 0.084 grams. This indicates that there is no limiting reactant present in the reaction. Consequently, the theoretical yield is also 0.084 grams. The conclusion confirms that equal amounts suggest a balanced reaction without a limiting factor. Therefore, the calculations support the absence of a limiting reactant.

Hey, the question was to find the limiting reactant for Lead II Nitrate and Potassium Chromate.

I did the work and ended up with 0.084 g for both calculations. (sorry I am not sure how the proper jargon is in chem)

So the grams are the same...does that mean that there is not limiting reactant?
Also, the theoretical yield would be 0.084g then, right?

Unfortunately no one answered my question.

The answer is yes, there is no limiting reactant.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
