Answer : The limiting reagent is
Solution : Given,
Moles of methane = 2.8 moles
Moles of = 5 moles
Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.
The balanced chemical reaction is,
From the balanced reaction we conclude that
As, 2 mole of react with 1 mole of
So, 5 moles of react with
moles of
From this we conclude that, is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and
is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.
Hence, the limiting reagent is
