Answer:

Explanation: Limiting reagent is a reaction which is 100% consumed in the chemical reaction

Steps to find LR :

1) First of all balance the chemical equation

2) Convert all the data given of the the reactants into their respective moles

3) Divide the moles of the reactant with respect  to their stoichiometric

co-efficient and the one which has the smallest value among all the reactants is the limiting reagent of the reaction.

Example :

H_2 + \frac{1}{2} O_2------->H_2O\\\\Taken : 5mole H_2  and 2moleO_2

Solution:

1 mole H_2 reacts with \frac{1}{2} mole ofO_2. So, 5 mole of H_2 requires \frac{5}{2} mole of O_2 Here only 2 mole of O_2 is present .

So,O_2  is limiting reagent in the reaction

Example :CH_4+O_2---->CO_2+H_2O\\\\Balancing the eqatiuon\\\\CH_4+2O_2---->CO_2+2H_2O\\\\\\BY the steps of finding LR \\ \\CH_4 will be\frac{1}{4}  and  2O_2 will be\frac{2}{2}=1\\ \\\\here \frac{1}{4} is less than 1 \\ \\therefore the moles of CH_4 will be LR

Hope this helps you


Aaliyahzaidi2608: what is stoichiometric??
dhruvingabani007: calculations based on relationship
Aaliyahzaidi2608: I can't understand fraction of ch4 is 1/4 . How did u get that .Can u plsss explain me??
dhruvingabani007: and 1 mole of ch4 is given , therefore 1/4
dhruvingabani007: which is less than 2O2, 2/2=1
Aaliyahzaidi2608: okay thank you so much for your help.
dhruvingabani007: hope you got it
Aaliyahzaidi2608: yes got it thanks.
dhruvingabani007: your welcome
dhruvingabani007: hope i had been helpful to you

to find the real in an equilateral we have to do first that that the mean that want to go and the that for the and the that was and at the wrong if you find to result in the equator what you have that that that the meaning that want to go at that the I don't know the answer sorry I was it
