Answer 2

Answer:

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is the limiting reagent.

Explanation:

Given, the chemical reaction:

2CI₂(g)  +  4NaOH(aq)  $\longrightarrow$  3NaCl(aq) + NaCIO₂(aq) + 2H₂O

3mol          3mol

We can conclude that from the given chemical reaction:-

2 moles of CI₂ react with amount of sodium hydroxide = 4 moles

Then 3 moles of chlorine react with NaOH $=\frac{4}{2}\times 3 =6 \; moles$

So, 3 moles of chlorine reacts with =6 moles of NaOH.

But we have only 3 moles of NaOH. Therefore, once 3 moles of NaOH will get consumed. The chemical reaction will stop.

Therefore, NaOH is the limiting reagent for given reaction.

Limiting reagent is the substances which is completely consumed in the completion of a chemical reaction. The theoretical yield of chemical reaction depends upon the limiting reagent.
