<h2>Answer:HCl</h2>

Explanation:

\text{number of moles}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{molar mass}}

For NH_{3},

\text{given mass}=3g

\text{molar mass}=14+3=17g

n_{NH_{3}}=\frac{3}{17}=0.176

For HCl,

\text{given mass}=5g

\text{molar mass}=1+35.5=36.5g

n_{HCl}=\frac{5}{36.5}=0.136

The reaction between NH_{3} and HCl is

NH_{3}+HCl→NH_{4}Cl

So,one mole of NH_{3} requires one mole of HCl

0.176 moles of NH_{3} requires 0.176 moles of HCl

But there are only 0.136 moles of HCl available.

HCl will be consumed first.

So,HCl is the limiting reagent.

How many moles are there in 77.1 g of cl2?
natita [175]
There are 70.90g of Cl2 in 1 mol (because 35.45g Cl in one mol). So 77.1g/70.9g≈1.0874 mol.
