<span>PbO Let's look at each of the 4 compounds and see what's needed. PbO. * Oxygen has a valance shell that's missing 2 electrons and wants to get those 2 elections. Lead donates them, so you have a Lead (II) ions. This is a correct choice. PbCl4 * Chlorine wants to grab 1 electron to fill it's valance shell and Lead donates that election. However, there's 4 chlorine atoms and every one of them wants and electron, and lead is donating all 4 of the desired electrons making the Lead (IV) ion. So this is a bad choice. Pb2O * Oxygen still wants 2 electrons and gets them from the lead. But there's 2 lead atoms and each of them donates 1 election making for 2 Lead(I) ions. So this too is a bad choice. Pb2S * Sulfur is in the same column of the periodic table as oxygen and if this compound were to exist would have similar properties as Pb2O and would have Lead(I) ions. So this is a bad choice.</span>

What is the limiting reactant when 8.4 moles of lithium react with 4.6 moles of oxygen gas?

serious [3.7K]

Answer: Lithium

Explanation: The balanced chemical equation is:

$4Li+O_2\rightarrow 2Li_2O$

It can be seen, 4 moles of lithium combines with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of lithium oxide.

Thus 8.4 moles of lithium combines with= $\frac{1}{4}\times {8.4}=2.1moles$ of oxygen gas to produce 4.2 moles of lithium oxide.

As, Lithium limits the formation of product, it is the limiting reagent and Oxygen gas is present in excess, it is called the excess reagent. (4.6-2.1)=2.5 moles of oxygen gas are present in excess.
