Question

5. 559.0 grams of sodium reacts with 900.0 g of water.
2 H₂O (1)
2 Na (s) +
0 2 NaOH(aq) +
a. What amount of sodium hydroxide is formed?
What is the limiting reactant?
b.
c. What is the excess reactant?
1 H₂ (g)

Expert Solution

Step 1

Limiting reactant is the reactant that gets consumed completely before the other reactant gets exhausted and thereby limits the amount of product formed. In other words, it is the reactant that is available in a quantity that is less than the amount required as per the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation for a complete reaction.
