Can you please help me with question 1.
![**Limiting Reactants and Percent Yield**
We will be using reactions from the carbon cycle for our limiting reactants. As carbon cycles through our Earth System, the availability of different molecules composed of carbon impacts all of the reactions in the carbon cycle. Reference the reactions below as you complete this activity:
### Combustion of Gasoline
\[ 2 \, \text{C}_8\text{H}_{18} + 25 \, \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 16 \, \text{CO}_2 + 18 \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \]
### Production of Seashells
\[ \text{H}_2\text{CO}_3 + \text{CaCl}_2 \rightarrow 2 \, \text{HCl} + \text{CaCO}_3 \]
### CO\(_2\) dissolving in the Ocean
\[ \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{CO}_3 \]
### Photosynthesis
\[ 6 \, \text{CO}_2 + 6 \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \, \text{O}_2 \]
1. **You are studying the combustion of gasoline in a lab.** Available to you is 32.0 g of C\(_8\)H\(_{18}\) and 23.5 L of O\(_2\). Identify the limiting reactant with a circle around the answer with the smallest yield of product.
2. **Marine life requires Calcium chloride to produce Calcium carbonate to produce shells.** More calcium and bicarbonate available allows for more calcification of shells. There is 72.8 g of H\(_2\)CO\(_3\) and 94.6 g of CaCl\(_2\) available in the local watershed. Identify the limiting reactant with a circle around the answer with the smallest yield of product.
3. **You’ve been tasked with observing photosynthesis in a closed system** with 48.1 g of CO\(_2\) and 8.52 g of H\(_2\)O. What is the limiting reactant in the experiment](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F02e5cf2e-fb42-47b5-a3c3-82d401f1c824%2F87f9463c-c9a4-4c8f-8be7-8d9efba59b0e%2Fiaipm4i_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
