QUESTION:
Consider the generic chemical equation:
\(2 A+4 B \rightarrow 3 C\)
What is the limiting reactant when each of the initial quantities of A and B is allowed to react?
(a) 2 mol A; 5 mol B
(b) 1.8 mol A; 4 mol B
(c) 3 mol A; 4 mol B
(d) 22 mol A; 40 mol B
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2:
Given generic chemical equation:
\(2 \mathrm{~A}+4 \mathrm{~B} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{C}\)
We have to find which is the limiting reactant when each of the initial quantities of A and B is allowed to react
\(2 \mathrm{~A}+4 \mathrm{~B} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{C}\)
The ratio of reactants to products in the given equation is in the ratio :
\(2: 4 \rightarrow 3\)
