When 5 grams of CO and 5grams of O₂ is combined according to the reaction 2CO + O₂ ----------> 2CO₂ then Limiting reagent is CO.

Limiting reagent is the reactant that get used up in the reaction first.

According to the given reaction:

2CO + O₂ ----------> 2CO₂

5g       5g

∴ Molar mass of CO = Molar mass of C + Molar mass of O

⇒ Molar mass of CO = 14 + 16

⇒ Molar mass of CO = 28g

∴ Molar mass of O₂ = 16(2) = 32g

∴ Molar mass of CO₂ = Molar mass of C + 2(Molar mass of O)

⇒ Molar mass of CO₂ = 14 + 2(16)

⇒Molar mass of CO₂ =44g

Let's find out the moles of CO and O₂

∴ Moles = Given mass / Molar mass

⇒ moles of CO = 5/28 = 0.17

⇒ moles of O₂ = 5/32 = 0.15

For finding out the Limiting Reagent, we will divide the number of moles with the stiochiometry of the given reaction.

⇒ For CO = Moles/ stiochiometry = 0.17/2 = 0.085

⇒ For O₂ = Moles/ stiochiometry = 0.15/1 = 0.15

Since, the ratio of number of moles with the stiochiometry is less for CO hence it is the Limiting reagent, i.e. it will get used up in the reaction first.

Hence, the Limiting reagent  for the reaction is CO.

Gemiola [76]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles.

45.6 g Au ( 1 mol / 196.97 g ) (  </span>6.022 x 10^23 atoms / mole ) = 1.39x10^23 atoms Au
