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>

Taking into account the definition of molarity, the concentration of the solution is 0.855 \frac{moles}{liter}.

<h3>Definition of molarity</h3>

Molar concentration or molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution and indicates the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution:

Molarity=\frac{number of moles}{volume}

Molarity is expressed in units \frac{moles}{liter}.

<h3>Molarity of NaCl</h3>

In this case, you have:

  • number of moles of NaCl= 100 grams\frac{1 mole}{58.45 grams} =1.71 moles (being 58.45 g/mole the molar mass of NaCl)
  • volume 2 L

Replacing in the definition of molarity:

Molarity=\frac{1.71 moles}{2 L}

Solving:

Molarity= 0.855 \frac{moles}{liter}

Finally, the concentration of the solution is 0.855 \frac{moles}{liter}.
