Question

11 g of carbon react with32 g of oxygen . which one is limiting reactant

Answer 1

Answer:

C+O2-----------CO2

Explanation:

Carbon completely burns with 32 g of oxygen to give 44 g of carbon dioxide.

Here Carbon is the limiting reactant, because 11 g of Carbon will react with (11 /12 x 32)= 29.33 g of oxygen. The remaining (32–29.33) = 2.67 g of oxygen will be in excess. So carbon is the limiting reactant.
