Question 31
In the reaction
2H₂ + O2 →
→ 2H₂O
which reactant, if any, will be limiting if 0.592 g of H₂ and 4.42 g of O2 are allowed
to react to completion?
H₂ will be the limiting reactant
O2 will be the limiting reactant
neither will be limiting (the reactants are stoichiometrically balanced to 3
significant figures)
there isn't enough information to know which reactant will be limiting
