Question

`Determining the limiting reactant is an extremely important concept in chemistry. To do this, you need to know all of the following information EXCEPT?

Answer 1

Answer:

C the mass of each product formed

Explanation:

To the determine the limiting reactant, it is essential that we have the balanced equation of the reaction from which we can calculate the stochiometry mole ratio of the reactant. After this, we need to calculate the molar mass of  the reactants, using the mole from the balanced equation we can calculate each mass of each reactant needed. Finally we need the mass of each reactant using proportion we can calculate the amount needed for the reaction from the masses of the reactant by comparing the mass given against the mass calculated from the balanced equation. After this, the mass that is exhausted or that is finished will be the limiting reactant which is the reactant that finished and caused the reaction to stop.
