Ans: B). The limiting reactant in a reaction is the first reactant to be completely converted to products.

In a chemical reaction, the limiting reagent is one with a lower number of moles. Thus, the limiting reactant will be consumed first and will dictate the amount of product that can be formed.

For example consider the reaction between 1 g of Mg and 2 g of O to form MgO

2Mg + O_{2} ---- 2MgO

# moles of Mg = \frac{mass of Mg}{atomic mass of Mg} = \frac{ 1 g}{24 g.mol-1} = 0.042 moles

# moles of Oxygen = \frac{mass of oxygen}{molar mass} = \frac{2}{32} =0.063 moles

since moles of Mg is less than that of oxygen, Mg will be the limiting reactant. Thus, it will be consumed first and will be completely converted into MgO.

Matter is made up of heat energy and ___________energy?
ella [17]
You’re correct, matter is made up of heat energy and chemical energy

all matter contains heat because it is the result of the movement of atoms, molecules, or ions in solids, liquids, and gases.

all matter also contains chemical energy. chemical energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds so atoms and molecules are held together by chemical energy

hope this helps :)
