Since you have not included the chemical reaction I will explain you in detail.
1) To determine the limiting agent you need two things:
- the balanced chemical equation
- the amount of every reactant involved as per the chemical equation
2) The work is:
- state the mole ratios of all the reactants: these are the ratios of the coefficientes of the reactans in the balanced chemical equation.
- determine the number of moles of each reactant with this formula:
number of moles = (mass in grams) / (molar mass)
- set the proportion with the two ratios (theoretical moles and actual moles)
- compare which reactant is below than the stated by the theoretical ratio.
3) Example: determine the limiting agent in this reaction if there are 100 grams of each reactant:
i) Chemical equation: H₂ + O₂ → H₂O
ii) Balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
iii) Theoretical mole ration of the reactants: 2 moles H₂ : 1 mol O₂
iv) Covert 100 g of H₂ into number of moles
n = 100g / 2g/mol = 50 mol of H₂
v) Convert 100 g of O₂ to moles:
n = 100 g / 32 g/mol = 3.125 mol
vi) Actual ratio: 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂
vii) Compare the two ratios:
2 mol H₂ / 1 mol O ₂ < 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂
Conclusion: the actual ratio of H₂ to O₂ is greater than the theoretical ratio, meaning that the H₂ is in excess respect to the O₂. And that means that O₂ will be consumed completely while some H₂ will remain without react.
Therefore, the O₂ is the limiting reactant in this example.
Answer: Air
Explanation: Pure air is a mixture of several gases that are invisible and odorless. Consists of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and less than 1% of argon, carbon dioxide.
Assuming an ebullioscopic constant of 0.512 °C/m for the water, If you add 30.0g of salt to 3.75kg of water, the boiling-point elevation will be 0.140 °C and the boiling-point of the solution will be 100.14 °C.
<h3>What is the boiling-point elevation?</h3>
Boiling-point elevation describes the phenomenon that the boiling point of a liquid will be higher when another compound is added, meaning that a solution has a higher boiling point than a pure solvent.
- Step 1: Calculate the molality of the solution.
We will use the definition of molality.
b = mass solute / molar mass solute × kg solvent
b = 30.0 g / (58.44 g/mol) × 3.75 kg = 0.137 m
- Step 2: Calculate the boiling-point elevation.
We will use the following expression.
ΔT = Kb × m × i
ΔT = 0.512 °C/m × 0.137 m × 2 = 0.140 °C
where
- ΔT is the boiling-point elevation
- Kb is the ebullioscopic constant.
- b is the molality.
- i is the Van't Hoff factor (i = 2 for NaCl).
The normal boiling-point for water is 100 °C. The boiling-point of the solution will be:
100 °C + 0.140 °C = 100.14 °C
Assuming an ebullioscopic constant of 0.512 °C/m for the water, If you add 30.0g of salt to 3.75kg of water, the boiling-point elevation will be 0.140 °C and the boiling-point of the solution will be 100.14 °C.

Because of the crystal structure of the ice, ice has lower density than liquid water. So the volume of the ice of same mass is greater than water. When melting, the volume will decrease.
