Answer is: <span>b) A/4B.
Chemical reaction: A + 4B </span>→ C + 3D.
from chemical reaction: n(A) : n(B) = 1 : 4.
a) if 1A reacts with 1B, there is not enough B (need 3B more).
c) if 3A react with 4B, there is not enough B (need 8B more).
d) if 4A react with 1B, there is not enough B (need 15B more).

The correct answer is b. Since the equation is balance we can establish that A and B react in the ration 1:4. So in order for the reactants to produce more product there must exist a limiting reactant that gets used up once the ratio of reactants is 1:4 or greater than this value. The first pair of reactants gives us a 1:1 ratio, which means

a.mol A \times \frac{mol C}{mol A} = mol\ C\\\\mol B \times \frac{mol C}{4mol B} = 0.25 mol\ C.

Here B is the limiting reactant and it get used up before we can go above our treshold ratio.

b. mol A \times \frac{mol C}{mol A} = mol C\\\\4mol B \times \frac{mol C}{4mol\ B} = mol\ C

The reactants react in the ratio 1:4 which gives 1 mol of C

c. 3mol A \times \frac{mol C}{mol A} = 3mol\ C\\\\4mol B \times  \frac{mol C}{4mol B} = 1 mol C

The 3:4 ratio makes B be the limiting reactant which means even though we have 3 moles of A, after 1 mol A has reacted all the 4 moles of B will be used up.

d, 4mol A \times \frac{molC }{mol A} = 4mol\ C\\\\mol\ B \times \frac{mol C}{ mol B} = 1 mol C

Here there is not enough moles of B to get more product.

What is difference between ∆H and ∆H°
Elena-2011 [213]

If it is shown as ∆H , then it means that a specific chemical reaction is undergoing heat in Kelvin(K). If it is shown as ∆H° , then it means that a specific chemical reaction is undergoing heat in Celsius(C⁰).

Hope this is the answer you are looking for mate!
