Answer:
a. Oxygen gas is limiting
Explanation:
hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
the above balanced equation shows that 2 moles of H₂ is required for 1 mole of O₂
Given equal masses of H₂ and O₂
assuming 'x' gm for each, no. of moles of each gas =
no. of moles of H₂ = x/2 = 0.5x moles
no.of moles of O₂ = x/32 = 0.031x moles
This shows that no. of moles of O₂ is very less so O₂ will become the limiting reagent.
They have same chemical properties
for example the elements of group VIII are called noble gases .They are unreactive, odorless and colorless.
