Still using the reaction from the video, what is the limiting reagent when 2 moles of Al are reacted
1 answer:
The limiting reagent will be Al
<h3>What are limiting reagents?</h3>They are reagents that limit the quantity of products that are formed in reactions.
From the equation of the reaction:
The mole ratio of Al to O2 is 4:3.
With 2 moles of Al and 2 moles of O2, Al becomes limiting while O2 is in excess.
With 2 moles of O2, the amount of Al required should be:
2 x 4/3 = 2.67 moles.
With 2 moles of Al, the amount of O2 required should be:
2 x 3/4 = 1.5 moles
Thus, O2 is in excess by 0.5 moles.

So to balance an equation, you need to get the same amount of each type of element on either side of the --> . So you pretty much are given the subscripts in the equations and you need to add coefficients (just normal numbers) in front of any formula that needs it, keeping anything balance.

These coefficient numbers are the molar ratios, so 2 moles of KCl3 for every 3 moles of O2 so 1. 3:2
Then you can use these ratios of find out how many moles of one thing are needed if you are given the amount of another.
and use cross multiplication to solve for whatever you don't know
