The law of the conservation of mass states that matter is neither created nor destroyed, only converted to other forms. Therefore, the mass never changes, even if its appearance does.

What is the limiting reactant for the following balanced equation when 9 moles of AlF3 are mixed with 12 miles of O2?

tamaranim1 [39]

<h2>Answer: $AlF_{3}$ </h2>

Explanation:

The chemical equation of the reaction that occurs when $AlF_{3}$ reacts with $O_{2}$ is

$4AlF_{3}+3O_{2}$ → $2Al_{2}O_{3}+6F_{2}$

$4$ moles of $AlF_{3}$ requires $3$ moles of $O_{2}$ .

$1$ mole of $AlF_{3}$ requires $\frac{3}{4}$ moles of $O_{2}$ .

Given that we have $9$ moles of $AlF_{3}$ .

$9$ moles of $AlF_{3}$ requires $\frac{3}{4}\times 9=6.75$ moles of $O_{2}$ .

But we have $12$ moles of $O_{2}$ .

So, $AlF_{3}$ will be consumed first.

So, $AlF_{3}$ is the limiting reagent.

Why do the planets keep orbiting the sun

There's no reason, it's just because the sun has a gravitational pull
