1.	On the formation of SF_6 by the direct combination of Sand F_2, which is the limiting reagent?
Answer» SOLUTION :`SF_6` is formed by burning Sulphur in an atmosphere of Fluorine. SUPPOSE 3 moles of S is allowed to react with 12 moles of Fluorine. `S_(I) + 3F_(2_(g)) to SF_(6_(g)` As per the stoichiometric reaction, ONE mole of REACTS with 3 moles of fluorine to complete the reaction. Similarly, 3 moles of Srequires only 9 moles of fluorine. `:.` It is understood that the limiting reagent is Sulphur and the excess reagent is Fluorine.
