Determining the Limiting Reactant and Percent Yield in a Precipitation Reaction Objectives: Observe the reaction between solutions of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride. Determine which of the reactants is the limiting reactant and which is the excess reactant. Determine the theoretical mass of precipitate that should form. Compare the actual mass with the theoretical mass of precipitate and calculate the percent yield. Materials: Balance 0.70 M sodium carbonate solution‚ Na2CO3(aq)
