Answer:- HBr is limiting reactant.
Solution:- The given balanced equation is:
From this equation, There is 2:6 mol or 1:3 mol ratio between Al and HBr. Since we have 8 moles of each, HBr is the limiting reactant as we need 3 moles of HBr for each mol of Al.
The calculations could be shown as:
= 24 mol HBr
From calculations, 24 moles of HBr are required to react completely with 8 moles of Al but only 8 moles of it are available. It clearly indicates, HBr is limiting reactant.

We cannot solve this problem without using empirical data. These reactions have already been experimented by scientists. The standard Gibb's free energy, ΔG°, (occurring in standard temperature of 298 Kelvin) are already reported in various literature. These are the known ΔG° for the appropriate reactions.
<span>glucose-1-phosphate⟶glucose-6-phosphate ΔG∘=−7.28 kJ/mol
fructose-6-phosphate⟶glucose-6-phosphate ΔG∘=−1.67 kJ/mol
</span>
Therefore, the reaction is a two-step process wherein glucose-6-phosphate is the intermediate product.
glucose-1-phosphate⟶glucose-6-phosphate⟶fructose-6-phosphate
In this case, you simply add the ΔG°. However, since we need the reverse of the second reaction to end up with the terminal product, fructose-6-phosphate, you'll have to take the opposite sign of ΔG°.
ΔG°,total = −7.28 kJ/mol + 1.67 kJ/mol = -5.61 kJ/mol
Then, the equation to relate ΔG° to the equilibrium constant K is
ΔG° = -RTlnK, where R is the gas constant equal to 0.008317 kJ/mol-K.
-5.61 kJ./mol = -(0.008317 kJ/mol-K)(298 K)(lnK)
lnK = 2.2635
K = e^2.2635
K = 9.62
