Limiting Reactant For the general reaction stoichiometry of 2A + 3B → D+E, which reactant is the limiting reactant (A or B), if the initial number of moles is 3 moles of A and 4 moles of B?

Respuesta :

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small molar amount. It got exhausted at the end of the reaction and the formation of the products is governed by it.

The given reaction:

2A + 3B → D+E

2 moles of A react with 3 moles of B

1 mole of A react with 3 / 2 moles of B

Given moles of A = 3 moles

Moles of B = 4 moles

So,

3 moles of A will react with 1.5 * 3 moles of B

Moles of B = 4.5

Since, only we have 4 moles of B. So, B is the limiting reagent.
