Question

When 12 moles of O2 reacts with 6moles of C10H8, what is the limiting reactant ? 1C10H80 + 12O2-->10CO2 +4H2O

Answer 1

Answer: according to the reaction u provided

                     C10H8O + 12O2 ------>  10CO2 +4H2O

mole:                   1                 12

given mole:        6                  12

answer : o2 is limiting reagant

Explanation: it is so bcz 1 mole of C10H8O must requires 12 moles of o2 so 6 moles must require 6*12 which is 72 moles.

so o2 is limiting reagant.

hope u get it and plz lemma know if it was nice :D
