Answer:

The limiting reactant is H₂

Explanation:

The reaction of hydrogen (H₂) and carbon monoxide (CO) to produce methanol (CH₃OH) is the following:

2H₂(g) + CO(g) → CH₃OH(g)

From the balanced chemical equation, we can see that 1 mol of CO reacts wIth 2 moles of H₂. So, the stoichiometric ratio is:

2 mol H₂/1 mol CO = 2.0

We have 500 mol of CO and 750 mol of H₂, so we calculate the ratio to establish a comparison:

750 mol H₂/500 mol CO = 1.5

Since 2.0 > 1.5, we have fewer moles of H₂ than are needed to completely react with 500 moles of CO. In fact, we need 1000 moles of H₂ and we have 750 moles. So, the limiting reactant is H₂.

What is the mass of a ink pen with triple beam balance
Gnesinka [82]
The mass of an ink pen with a triple beam balance if all the weights positioned to the right would be a maximum of 610 grams which sounds rather heavy for an ink pen but in the absence of necessary information it seems that that would have to be the answer.
