Question

If you are given 2.5g of C2H4 and 2.75g of O2 to conduct the combustion reaction below:

C2H4 + 3O2 = 2CO2 + 2H2O

What is the chemical formula for the limiting reagent? 

What is the theoretical mass of CO2 formed in this reaction in grams? 

When this reaction is run in the laboratory, only 1 g of CO2 are collected.  What is the % yield of this process? 

Theoretically, how many grams of the reagent that is in excess is left after the reaction?
