What Is The Limiting Reactant For A Process?
Why does a reaction stop when the limiting reactant is consumed, even though there may be plenty of the other reactants present?

What Is The Value Of The Equilibrium Constant?
The reaction
H2(g) + CO2(g) –> H2O(g) + CO(g)
reaches equilibrium at 500 K. The initial concentration of hydrogen is 0.0420 mol/L and that of carbon dioxide is 0.0160 mol/L. At equilibrium, there is 0.194 mol carbon dioxide in the 14.0 L-container. What is the value of the equilibrium constant, Kc, for this reaction at this temperature?
Thanks.

How Do I Determine What Reactant Is Limiting?
For Al + HCl –> AlCl^3 + H^2.
If 15.0 g of the reactant is taken, how do I determine if the reactant is limiting and what mass of each product is expected? (If it is assumed the limiting reactant is completely conusmed?
:S
please help me!

What Is The Importance Of Organic Chemistry To Being A Pharmacist?
Hi, I’m a student currently in the pharmacological chemistry major. I’m taking upper division Organic chemistry classes right now but I have an extremely bad professor. I’m afraid that he’ll leave out important information. I am just wondering how important is ochem is to the profession itself, and pharm degree exams. I know there’s a lot more other chemistry such as physical chemistry and biochem in this major, but how important is ochem related to those.
