Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A limiting reagent is defined as a reagent that completely gets consumed in a chemical reaction. A limiting reagent limits the formation of products.
For example, we have given 5 mol of A and the reaction is 
Whereas when 4 mol B will react with 2 mol of A. Hence, 8 mol of B will react with 4 mol A as follows.
= 4 mol
As, the given moles of A is more than the required moles. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.
Hence, B is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.
Thus, we can conclude that limiting reactant is the term used to describe the reactant that is used up completely and controls the amount of product that can be produced during a chemical reaction.
2C3H8+ 702--->6CO2+8H20
FROM Equation above 2 moles of C3H8 reacted with 7 moles of oxygen to form 6 moles of c02 plus 8 molesof H2O
the moles of c3H8 reacted is = MASS/ R.F.M
THE R.F.M =48+8=44
Number of moles is hence 0.025/44=5.68x10^-4
since ratio of C3H8 to O2 is 2:7 Therefore moles of O2 reacted is 1.989 x10^-3
mass= r.f.m x number of moles
(1.989x10^-3) x 32 =0.064g
yes through the process of melting
Using dimensional analysis, we can find the moles of strontium by comparing the mass of strontium to it's atomic mass.
You can find the atomic mass of Sr on the periodic table:
Atomic Mass Sr = 87.62g/mol
In case you are not familiar, dimensional analysis works like this:
(what we know) x (conversion factor) = what we are looking for
The conversion factor compares the units of what we know to the units of what we are looking for. In this case, the conversion factor is:
1 mol/87.62g
The important thing to note about the conversion factor is that you want to be able to cancel out the units of your given measurement (in this case, it is the mass)
So, our full solution will be:
moles Sr = (175.24 g)x(1 mol/87.62 g)
(cancel out the mass units)
moles Sr = 175.24 x 1 mol/87.62
= 2.00 mol Sr
Hope this helped you!
