Since you have not included the chemical reaction I will explain you in detail.
1) To determine the limiting agent you need two things:
- the balanced chemical equation
- the amount of every reactant involved as per the chemical equation
2) The work is:
- state the mole ratios of all the reactants: these are the ratios of the coefficientes of the reactans in the balanced chemical equation.
- determine the number of moles of each reactant with this formula:
number of moles = (mass in grams) / (molar mass)
- set the proportion with the two ratios (theoretical moles and actual moles)
- compare which reactant is below than the stated by the theoretical ratio.
3) Example: determine the limiting agent in this reaction if there are 100 grams of each reactant:
i) Chemical equation: H₂ + O₂ → H₂O
ii) Balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
iii) Theoretical mole ration of the reactants: 2 moles H₂ : 1 mol O₂
iv) Covert 100 g of H₂ into number of moles
n = 100g / 2g/mol = 50 mol of H₂
v) Convert 100 g of O₂ to moles:
n = 100 g / 32 g/mol = 3.125 mol
vi) Actual ratio: 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂
vii) Compare the two ratios:
2 mol H₂ / 1 mol O ₂ < 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂
Conclusion: the actual ratio of H₂ to O₂ is greater than the theoretical ratio, meaning that the H₂ is in excess respect to the O₂. And that means that O₂ will be consumed completely while some H₂ will remain without react.
Therefore, the O₂ is the limiting reactant in this example.
Answer:
Notice that the number of atoms of
K
and
Cl
are the same on both sides, but the numbers of
O
atoms are not. There are 3
O
atoms on the the left side and 2 on the right. 3 and 2 are factors of 6, so add coefficients so that there are 6
O
atoms on both sides.

Now the

Answer:
=> 2.8554 g/mL
Explanation:
To determine the formula to use in solving such a problem, you have to consider what you have been given.
We have;
mass (m) = 16.59 g
Volume (v) = 5.81 mL
From our question, we are to determine the density (rho) of the rock.
The formula:
Substitute the values into the formula:
= 2.8554 g/mL
Therefore, the density (rho) of the rock is 2.8554 g/mL.
