Consider the generic chemical reaction:
A + 2 B ⟶ C + D
Suppose you have 12 g of A and 24 g of B. Which statement is true?
(a) A will definitely be the limiting reactant.
(b) B will definitely be the limiting reactant.
(c) A will be the limiting reactant if its molar mass is less than B.
(d) A will be the limiting reactant if its molar mass is greater than B.
Solution 11Q
For the given reaction
A + 2 B → C + D
The option (d) A will be the limiting reactant if its molar mass is greater than B will be correct.
