Limiting reagent lab
1. What are the limiting and excess reagents for each flask? How did you determine this? the limiting reagent was the sodium bicarbonate because during each test it was completely used. while the excess reagent is the vinegar because there was always some vinegar left. 2. How is the amount of product in a reaction affected by an insufficient quantity of any of the reactants (reagents)? The amount of product is reduced because if there is an insufficient amount of any of the reactants then only so much of the final product can be made until there is only one of the reactants remaining. 3. Which balloon was the largest? Explain. The largest balloon was the purple balloon because it had the largest volume from pouring in the most sodium bicarbonate which caused a reaction that produced the most CO2 filling the balloon 4. Which balloon was the smallest? Explain. The blue balloon was the smallest because in contrary to the purple the lest amount of sodium bicarb
