Question

A car manufacturer needs to assemble the maximum number of cars using the following equation: 1 body frame + 4 wheels + 2 headlights + 2 brakes + 1 engine It has 48 body frames, 64 headlights, 80 wheels, 60 brakes and 30 engines. What is the limiting reactant in this case?

Answer 1

The wheels will be completely used up and  it is the limiting reactant in this case.

What is a limiting reactant?

The limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely used up in a reaction, and thus determines when the reaction stops.

• 60 breaks will be used for 30 engines and 30 body frame
• 80 wheels will be used for 20 engines and 20 body frame
• 64 headlights will be used for 32 engines and 32 body frame

The wheels will be completely used up and  it is the limiting reactant in this case.
