Suppose the reaction is:
If 6 moles of A and 2 moles of B are reacted, what is the maximum number of moles of C that can be formed
<u>Answer:</u> The maximum amount of C produced will be 1 mole
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Moles of A = 6 moles
Moles of B = 2 moles
For the given chemical reaction:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of B reacts with 1 mole of A
So, 2 moles of B will react with = mole of A
As, As, given amount of A is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.
Thus, B is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of B produces 1 mole of C
So, 2 moles of given B will produce of C
Hence, the maximum amount of C produced will be 1 mole
