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 :

\(2: 4 \rightarrow 3\)
