What is the limiting reactant when 20g CH4 react with 15g H20?

Answer:

H₂O.

Explanation:

  • It is clear from the balanced equation:

<em>CH₄ + 2H₂O → CO₂ + 4H₂.</em>

that 1.0  mole of CH₄ reacts with 2.0 moles of H₂O to produce 1.0 mole of CO₂ and 4.0 moles of H₂.

  • To determine the limiting reactant, we should calculate the no. of moles of (20 g) CH₄ and (15 g) H₂O using the relation:

<em>n = mass/molar mass</em>

<em></em>

no. of moles of CH₄ = mass/molar mass = (20 g)/(16 g/mol) = 1.25 mol.

no. of moles of H₂O = mass/molar mass = (15 g)/(18 g/mol) = 0.833 mol.

  • <em>from the balanced reaction, 1.0  mole of CH₄ reacts with 2.0 moles of H₂O.</em>

So, from the calculated no. of moles: 0.4167 mole of CH₄ reacts completely with 0.833 mole of H₂O and the remaining of CH₄ will be in excess.

<u><em>So, the limiting reactant is H₂O.</em></u>

In this case, when converting scientific notation to standard notation, we simply have to multiply the given number by 10^{x}x.

The answer will be 7.510^{2}  = 7.5100 = 750

A standard notation is a form of writing a given number, an equation, or an expression in a form that follows certain rules. For example, 4.5 billion years is written as 4,500,000,000 years.
