Answer:
H₂SO₄
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of H₂SO₄ = 15 mol
Number of moles of Fe = 13 mol
Which reactant is limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
3H₂SO₄ + 2Fe → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂
now we will compare the moles reactant with product.
H₂SO₄ : Fe₂(SO₄)₃
3 : 1
15 : 1/3×15 = 5
H₂SO₄ : H₂
3 : 3
15 : 15
Fe : Fe₂(SO₄)₃
2 : 1
13 : 1/2×13 = 6.5
Fe : H₂
2 : 3
13 : 3/2×13 = 19.5
Number of moles of product formed by H₂SO₄ are less thus it will act as limiting reactant.
A vice, you can tighten it and then work on what is held in it without having to hold it still or in the position you want.
