![### Educational Content: Understanding Chemical Reactions and Mixtures
#### Mixture of Molecules
The drawing below shows a mixture of molecules:
(Image of the mixture)
#### Molecule Key:
- **carbon** (black)
- **oxygen** (red)
- **nitrogen** (blue)
- **sulfur** (yellow)
- **hydrogen** (white)
- **chlorine** (green)
#### Chemical Reaction in the Mixture:
Suppose the following chemical reaction can take place in this mixture:
\[ 3H_2(g) + N_2(g) \rightarrow 2NH_3(g) \]
#### Questions:
1. **Of which reactant are there the most initial moles? Enter its chemical formula:**
(Input Box)
2. **Of which reactant are there the least initial moles? Enter its chemical formula:**
(Input Box)
3. **Which reactant is the limiting reactant? Enter its chemical formula:**
(Input Box)
#### Explanation of the Diagram:
The diagram shows a mixture of molecules represented by color-coded spheres. Each type of molecule is identified according to the key provided, with each color corresponding to a specific element. For example, blue spheres represent nitrogen, and white spheres represent hydrogen.
In a chemical reaction, such as the one given, different reactants react to form products. The quantities and types of molecules present initially determine which reactant will limit the reaction, which is known as the limiting reactant. This exercises your understanding of stoichiometry and the ability to identify reactants and products in a chemical mixture.
Use this visualization to analyze the mixture and answer the questions provided about the initial moles of each reactant and identify the limiting reactant for the given reaction.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F51b34f29-cbe3-4c89-9d0f-09194701947f%2Fe9accc6f-245e-47bb-ae5a-14666c734176%2Fo7uv8l.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
