2NaOH(s) + CO2(g) → Na2 CO3 (s) + H20(1)
Correct
The limiting reactant is the one that is completely consumed during the reaction. According to the reaction stoichiometry, two
moles of NaOH are consumed per one mole of CO2 in a complete reaction. The amount of NaOH needed for a complete
consumption of 1.20 mol CO2 is
2 mol NaOH
mol NaOH needed to react
1.20 mol CO, x
1 mol CO,
2.40 mol NaOH
Since only 2.30 mol NaOH are available, NaOH will run out before all CO2 reacts. Therefore, NaOH is the limiting reactant.
