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.

Do you think that the human being is the center of the universe?
Andrej [43]
I think that the sun is the center of the universe, not a human being. Everything revolves around the sun, not someone. U know when to sleep, when the time is, and when to wake up based on the sun. All the planets revolve around it. This is why I think the sun is the center of the universe, not a human being.
