Answer:
Chlorine is limiting reactant
Explanation:
Based on the reaction:
Cl₂ + 2NaOH → NaClO + NaCl + H₂O
<em>1 mole of chlorine reacts with 2 moles of NaOH</em>
<em />
To find limiting reactant, we need to determine the moles of the reactants:
<em />
<em>Moles Cl₂ -Molar mass: 70.9g/mol-:</em>
800lb Cl₂ * (453.6g / 1lb) * (1mol / 70.90g) =
5118 moles Cl₂
<em>Moles NaOH -Molar mass: 40g/mol-:</em>
1200lb NaOH * (453.6g / 1lb) * (1mol / 40g) =
13608 moles NaOH
For a complete reaction of 13608 moles of NaOH you need:
13608 moles NaOH * (1mol Cl₂ / 2 moles NaOH) = 6804 moles of Cl₂
As the solution contains just 5118 moles of chlorine,
<h3>Chlorine is limiting reactant</h3>
Explanation:
this equation is balanced
if you look at it carefully
k=1
f=1
o=2
we do not have any opposing element
I thank that your answer is C.
