Chapter 17 Laboratory: Photochemistry 315
q: 3 If you performed this experiment under a type and intensity of light that caused a very rapid reaction, would you expect to see
bubbles of carbon dioxide produced in the solution? If not, why not? (Hint: do the stoichiometry to determine the limiting reagent.
How might the excess reagent react?)
q: 4 If you adjusted the amounts of reactants to near stoichiometric equivalence, would your answer to Q3 change? If not, why not?
(Hint: look up the solubility of carbon dioxide and run the numbers.)
