Answer» 2x + 3y → 41 + m 1. 2x reacts with 3y to give products. 8x reacts with 15y means, y is the excess because 8 moles of x should react with 4 × 3y = 12y moles of y to give products. In this reaction 15y moles are used. Therefore, 3 moles of y is excess and x is the limiting agent. 2. When 8 moles of x react with 12 moles of y, the product formed will be 4 × 41 i.e. 161 and 4m as product. 8x+ 12y → 161 + 4m 3. At the end of the reaction, the excess reactant left is 3 moles of y. |
