Question

In a reaction \[\ce{x + y + z2 -> xyz2}\] identify the Limiting reagent if any, in the following reaction mixture.

1 mol of x + 1 mol of y + 3 mol of z₂

Answer 1

Reaction: \[\ce{x + y + z2 -> xyz2}\]

1 mol of x + 1 mol of y + 3 mol of z₂

According to the equation, 1 mole of z₂ only react with one mole of x and one mole of y.

If 3 moles of z₂ are there, z is a limiting reagent.
