Question

.C+O2 → CO2, Consider 3g of C reacts with 16g of O2 then find Limiting reagent ​

Answer 1

Answer:

C(s) + O  

2

​  

→CO  

2

​  

(g)

No. of moles of carbon =  

12

36

​  

=3 moles

No. of moles of oxygen =  

32

32

​  

=1 moles

So, 2 moles of carbon is left and oxygen will be completed.

So, O  

2

​  

 is limiting reagent.
