The limiting reactant is chlorine (Cl2).
<u>Explanation</u>:
Limiting reactant is the amount of product formed which gets limited by the reagent without continuing it.
2 Al + 3 Cl2 ==> 2 AlCl3 represents the balanced equation.
Number of moles Al present = 34 g Al x 1 mole Al / 26.98 g
= 1.260 g moles of Al
Number of moles Cl2 present = 39 g Cl2 x 1 mole Cl2 / 35.45 g
= 1.10 g moles of Cl2
Dividing each reactant by it's coefficient in the balanced equation obtains:
1.260 moles Al / 2 = 0.63 g moles of Al
1.11 moles Cl2 / 3 = 0.36 g moles of Cl2
The reactant which produces a lesser amount of product is called as limiting reactant.
Here the Limiting reactant is Cl2.
Explanation:
Certain materials, called conductors, allow electric charge to move pretty freely through them. ... Other materials, like plastic and rubber, are called insulators because they don't allow electric charges to move through them.
