Question

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

2.5 mol of x + 5 mol of y + 5 mol of z₂

Answer 1

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

2.5 mol of x + 5 mol of y + 5 mol of z₂

2.5 mol of x react with 2.5 mole of y and 2.5 mole of z₂.

So x is the limiting reagent.
