Answer:

Copper (II) sulfate

Explanation:

Given reaction is

2Al(s) + 3CuSO4(aq) → Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3Cu(s)

Amount of aluminum = 1·25 g

Amount of copper (II) sulfate = 3·28 g

Atomic weight of Al = 26 g

Molecular weight of CuSO4 ≈ 159·5

Number of moles of Al = 1·25 ÷ 26 = 0·048

Number of moles of CuSO4 = 3·28 ÷ 159·5 = 0·021

From the above balanced chemical equation for every 2 moles of aluminum, 3 moles of copper (ll) sulfate will be required

So for 1 mole of Al, 1·5 moles of copper (ll) sulfate will be required

For 0·048 moles of Al, 1.5 × 0·048 moles of copper (ll) sulfate will be required

∴ Number of moles of copper (ll) sulfate required = 0·072

But we have only 0·021 moles of copper (ll) sulfate

As copper (ll) sulfate is not there in required amount, the limiting reactant will be copper (ll) sulfate

∴ The limiting reactant is copper (ll) sulfate

What is the molarity of a 3.0-liter solution that contains 0.45 moles of solute
sergeinik [125]
Moles = n/v where n is the moles of solute and v being the liters of solution.
We can put in the information provided to find the molarity.

Moles = .45/3.0 = .15
So we now know that the molarity of that solution is .15!
 I hope I helped you :). Make sure to memorize that formula because it's not that hard as long as you know what to plug in.
