Question

what is limiting reagent. find out the limiting reagent in the equation 2H²+O²-----›2H²O​

Answer 1

Limiting Reagent: In a chemical reaction limiting reagent is the reactant that is consumed first and prevents any further reaction from occurring. The amount of product formed during the reaction is determined by the limiting reagent. For example, let us consider the reaction of solution and chlorine. 2Na+Cl2→2NaCl.

Molecular mass of H

2

=2 g/mol

Molecular mass of O

2

=32 g/mol

From the balanced chemical equation,

2×2=4 g of hydrogen requires 32 g of Oxygen to react completely

I hope this helps you dear
