To determine the limiting reactant in a chemical reactioninvolving substances A

Question

To determine the limiting reactant in a chemical reactioninvolving substances A and B, one could first calculate
(a) the mass of 100 moles of A and B; (b)the masses of all products ; (c) bond energy of A and B; (d) the amount of moles of B required to react completely withA. To determine the limiting reactant in a chemical reactioninvolving substances A and B, one could first calculate
(a) the mass of 100 moles of A and B; (b)the masses of all products ; (c) bond energy of A and B; (d) the amount of moles of B required to react completely withA.

Explanation / Answer

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completelyused up in a given reaction In a reaction : aA + bB --> products , where a and b are the no. of molesof A and B, The limiting reagent can therefore be determined by comparingthe no. of moles of A and B, and finding out as to how many moles of B are required to completely react withA.     Therefore, the correct option is :     (d)the amount of moles of B required to react completely withA.
