can you please please help me with these questions I don't know how to do any of them. I know how to calculate moles and grams and mole ratio,etc but I don't understand the limiting excess reactant and yield stuff. Thanks!



1.In the following chemical reaction, how many grams of the excess reactant are left over when 0.45 moles of Al react with 1.25 moles of Cl2 ?
2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3


2.Using the following equation, determine the % yield from the following reaction if 30.65 g of octane (C8H18 ) react with excess oxygen to produce 81.75 g of CO2

C8 H18 (I) + 25 O2 (g) → 16CO2 + 18H2O

moles of kcl=10.35/74.55=0.138


3.
For the following reaction, determine the amount of AgCl(s) formed when 10.35 g of KCl(aq) react with excess AgNO3 (aq) to produce AgCl(s) and KNO3 (aq) with a 77.15% yield.

AgNO3 + KCl → AgCl(s) + KNO3
