In easy words the connection between Reactants, Products and Limiting reactants is as follow,
Reactants and Products:
Reactants are the starting materials for the synthesis of final synthesized materials called as products.
Example:
CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O
In above reaction Methane (CH₄) and Oxygen (O₂) are the reactants while, CO₂ and H₂O are the products.
Reactants, Products and Limiting Reactants:
Considering the same example it is seen that for one mole of CO₂ two moles of O₂ are required to completely convert into CO₂ and H₂O. If either of the reactant is taken less than the required amount then it will act as a limiting reactant because it will consume first leaving the second reactant present in excess as compare to it. Hence, we can say that the limiting reactant is the starting material which controls the amount of product being formed.
MgCl2 because it is the only option in which a metal appears with a nonmetal. In this case, the metal transfers electrons to the nonmental because the metal has a lower ionization energy.
*A & B*
Answers A & B are not possible, as Hydrogen “bonds” are intermolecular forces and do not actually involve transfer or sharing of electrons.
*C & D*
Viscosity and surface tension are not the answer as they are not specific enough to the question.
*E*
Polarity of water molecules is the correct answer, as water molecules are highly polar. The partial positive of the Hydrogen on one water molecule is highly attracted to the partial negative of the Oxygen (due to its lone pairs) on another water molecule.
