<u>Answer:</u> 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.
Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.
The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

Given mass of aluminium carbide = 112 g
Molar mass of aluminium carbide = 143.96 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1:
For the given chemical reaction:
By the stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of aluminium carbide reacts with 12 moles of water
So, 0.778 moles of aluminium carbide will react with = of water
Given mass of water = 174 g
Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1:
Moles of excess reactant (water) left = 9.667 - 4.668 = 4.999 moles
Hence, 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.

Explanation:
Alkenes undergo hydrogenation to give the corresponding alkanes. Where the structure of the original alkene is unknown, we can deduce the structure of the alkene from the structure of the products obtained when it undergoes various chemical reactions.
Now, the fact that we obtained 2-methylhexane upon hydrogenation and the two compounds had different heats of hydrogenation means that the two compounds were geometric isomers. The original compounds must have been cis-2-methyl-3-hexene and trans-2-methyl-3-hexene.
When reacted with HCl, the same compound C7H15Cl is formed because the stereo chemistry is removed.
However, we know that the trans isomer is more stable than the cis isomer hence the cis isomer always has a higher heat of hydrogenation than the trans isomer. Thus X is cis-2-methyl-3-hexene.
