Since you have not included the chemical reaction I will explain you in detail.

1) To determine the limiting agent you need two things:

- the balanced chemical equation

- the amount of every reactant involved as per the chemical equation

2) The work is:

- state the mole ratios of all the reactants: these are the ratios of the coefficientes of the reactans in the balanced chemical equation.


- determine the number of moles of each reactant with this formula:

number of moles = (mass in grams) / (molar mass)

- set the proportion with the two ratios (theoretical moles and actual moles)


- compare which reactant is below than the stated by the theoretical ratio.

3) Example: determine the limiting agent in this reaction if there are 100 grams of each reactant:

i) Chemical equation: H₂ + O₂ → H₂O

ii) Balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

iii) Theoretical mole ration of the reactants: 2 moles H₂ : 1 mol O₂

iv) Covert 100 g of H₂ into number of moles

n = 100g / 2g/mol = 50 mol of H₂

v) Convert 100 g of O₂ to moles: 

n = 100 g / 32 g/mol = 3.125 mol

vi) Actual ratio: 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂

vii) Compare the two ratios:

2 mol H₂ / 1 mol O ₂ < 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂

Conclusion: the actual ratio of H₂ to O₂ is greater than the theoretical ratio, meaning that the H₂ is in excess respect to the O₂. And that means that O₂ will be consumed completely while some H₂ will remain without react.

Therefore, the O₂ is the limiting reactant in this example.

Which is a property of an ideal gas?
AlekseyPX
HEY THERE!

THE ANSWER IS: the properties of an ideal gas are: An ideal gas consists of a large number of identical molecules. The volume occupied by the molecules themselves is negligible compared to the volume occupied by the gas. The molecules obey Newton's laws of motion, and they move in random motion.

Antacids work to relieve stomach acids because of which of the following types of reactions?
Anastaziya [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which larger compound breaks down into two or more smaller compounds.

AB\rightarrow A+B

Double displacement reactions is defined as the chemical reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

AB+CD\rightarrow AD+CB

Synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which two or more smaller compounds combines to form a single large compound.

A+B\rightarrow AB

Single displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction.

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

In stomach, an acid is present known as hydrochloric acid and to neutralize its effect, antacid is taken which has CaCO_ as a component.

The reaction between HCl and CaCO_3 is a type of neutralization reaction and it is a type of double displacement reaction.

The equation between the two follows:

CaCO_3+HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+H_2O+CO_2

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
