The limiting reagent (or limiting reactant or limiting agent) in a chemical reaction is a reactant that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it.
Sodium methoxide is prepared by treating methanol with sodium: 2 Na + 2 CH 3 OH → 2 CH 3 ONa + H 2. The reaction is so exothermic that ignition is possible. The resulting solution, which is colorless, is often used as a source of sodium methoxide, but the pure material can be isolated by evaporation followed by heating to remove residual methanol.
In chemistry, a reagent (/ r i ˈ eɪ dʒ ən t / ree-AY-jənt) or analytical reagent is a substance or compound added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or test if one occurs. [1] The terms reactant and reagent are often used interchangeably, but reactant specifies a substance consumed in the course of a chemical reaction. [ 1 ]
For example, in the reaction CH 4 + 2 O 2 → CO 2 + 2 H 2 O, the stoichiometric number of CH 4 is −1, the stoichiometric number of O 2 is −2, for CO 2 it would be +1 and for H 2 O it is +2. In more technically precise terms, the stoichiometric number in a chemical reaction system of the i -th component is defined as
I've recently tried searching for an identical or similar limiting reagent formula on the Internet; however, I have found nothing resembling a limiting reagent formula on any site. An attempt to test the formula with an example from SparkNotes also ended with a vastly different (and inaccurate) result from the original problem.
2-Methyl-6-nitrobenzoic anhydride is an organic acid anhydride also known as the Shiina reagent, [1] [2] having a structure wherein carboxylic acids undergo intermolecular dehydration condensation. It was developed in 2002 by Prof. Isamu Shiina ( Tokyo University of Science , Japan). [ 3 ]
Chelate complex of the Chen-Kao reaction starting from (1S,2S)-pseudoephedrine. The Chen-Kao reaction (named after Ko Kuei Chen and Chung-Hsi Kao, Madison, Wisconsin 1926) [1] [2] is a chemical method for determining the presence of pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, and similar phenylalkylamines. [3]
2,6-Xylidine is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 3 (CH 3) 2 NH 2. It is one of several isomeric xylidines. It is a colorless viscous liquid.
