Consider the reaction between HCl and O2: 4HCl grams + O2 - 2 H2O liquid + 2 Cl2 grams When 63.1 grams of HCl react with 17.2 g

of O2, 49.3 grams of Cl2 are collected. What is the limiting reactant?

The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
4HCl + O₂ ---> 2H₂O + 2Cl₂
stoichiometry of HCl to O₂ is 4:1
number of HCl moles present - 63.1 g / 36.5 g/mol = 1.73 mol
number of O₂ moles present - 17.2 g / 32 g/mol = 0.54 mol
if HCl is the limiting reactant; then number of O₂ moles = 1.73/4 = 0.43 mol
There are 0.54 mol present and only 0.43 mol are required to react. Therefore HCl is the limiting reactant and O₂ is in excess.

Why can't the subscripts be changed?
zlopas [31]
Subscripts cannot be changed because they are the ratio of the amount. And as we know, in a chemical equation/reaction, mass cannot be created nor destroyed. Therefore, we cannot change subscripts, however, we could change coefficients. <span />
