Question

If I react 6 units of AB with 10 units of CD in the equation below, what is the limiting reactant? 3AB + 4CD --> 2AD + 6CB

Answer 1

If 6 units of AB were reacted with 10 units of CD in the described equation, the limiting reactant would AB

Limiting reactants

They are reactants that determine how far a reaction can go in terms of yield.

From the equation: 3AB + 4CD --> 2AD + 6CB

The mole ratio of AB to CD is 3:4

Thus, 6 units of AB will require 8 units of CD.

But 10 units of CD were reacted with only 6 units of AB. This means that CD is in excess by 2 units while AB will limit the yield of the reaction.
