<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.

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}       .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium carbide = 112 g

Molar mass of aluminium carbide = 143.96 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

\text{Moles of aluminium carbide}=\frac{112g}{143.96g/mol}=0.778mol

For the given chemical reaction:

2Al_4C_3(s)+12H_2O(l)\rightarrow 3CH_4(g)+4Al(OH)_3(s)

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 = \frac{12}{2}\times 0.778=4.668 mol of water

Given mass of water = 174 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

\text{Moles of water}=\frac{174g}{18g/mol}=9.667mol

Moles of excess reactant (water) left = 9.667 - 4.668 = 4.999 moles

Hence, 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.
