The reactant which is entirely consumed in reactions is known as limiting reagent. In the reaction 2A+4B rarr 3C+4D, when 5 moles of A react with 6 moles of B, then (i) which is the limiting reagent ? (ii) calculate the amount of C formed ?

Answer»

Solution :According to the GIVEN equation, 2 moles of A react with 4 moles of B.
`therefore` 5 moles of A will react with 10 moles of B, But we have only 6 moles of B.
6 moles of will react 3 moles of A and 2 moles of A will unreacted. THUS,
(i) B is limiting a A is the excess reactant.
(II) The AMOUNT of C formed will depend upon the limiting reactant i.e., 6 moles of B
4 moles of B FORM C = 3 moles
`therefore"6 moles of B will form C"=(3)/(4)xx6="4.5 moles."`
