Question

Consider the following reaction: 3A + 2B → 5C If 5 moles of A and 10 moles of B taken initially, then number of moles of C will be produced: a. 25 b. 8.33 c. 5 d. 16.66​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Solution

Correct option is B)

The balanced chemical reaction is A+2B⟶C.

5 moles of A will react with  

1

5×2

​

=10 moles of B.

However, only 8 moles of B are present.

Thus, B is the limiting reagent.

Hence, 8 moles of B will give  

2

8×1

​

=4 moles of C.
