If 40g of `CaCO_3` is treated with 40g of HCl, which of the reactants will acts as limiting reagent?A. `CaCO_3`B. HClC. Both (a) and (b)D. None of these |
Answer» `underset("1 mole" (100g))(CaCO_3)+underset("2 moles" (73g))(2HCl) to CaCl_2+H_2O+CO_2` 100g of `CaCO_3` reacts with 73g of HCl 40g of `CaCO_3 " will reacts with " 73/100xx40=29.2g` of HCl Since `CaCO_3` is completely consumed and some amount (40-29.2=10.8g) of HCl remains unreacted and hence, `CaCO_3` is limiting reagent. |
