2 C₂H4 + O₂ → 2 C₂H4O Which reactant is limiting? What is the percentage excess of the other reactant? If the reaction proceeds to completion, how much of the excess reactant will be left; how much C₂H4O will be formed; and what is the extent of reaction? If the reaction proceeds to a point where the fof the limiting reactant is 50%, how much of each reactant and product is present at the end, and what is the ()? If the reaction proceeds to a point where 60 kmol of O₂ is left, what is the fof C₂H4? The fof O₂? The extent of reaction?
