Question

What is the limiting reagent if 0.5 g Al is reacted with 3.5 g CuCl2?(Reminder: CuCl2 is a dihydrate)​

Answer 1

$\large{\mathcal{\purple{H}\green{e}\pink{y}\blue{!}}}$

$:\implies$ CuCl₂·2H₂O is limiting reactant.

Chemical reaction: 3CuCl₂·2H₂O + 2Al → 3Cu + 2AlCl₃ + 6H₂O. m(Al) = 0,5 g.

Answer 2

$\large{\mathcal{\purple{H}\green{e}\pink{y}\blue{!}}}$

$:\implies$ CuCl₂·2H₂O is limiting reactant.

Chemical reaction: 3CuCl₂·2H₂O + 2Al → 3Cu + 2AlCl₃ + 6H₂O. m(Al) = 0,5 g.
