The box on the left represents the reactants at the instant of mixing, and the box on the right shows what is left once the reaction has gone to completion. Was there a limiting reactant in this reaction? If so, what was it? Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. As usual, your equation should use the smallest possible whole number coefficients for all substances.arrow_forward
- When sprayed into the flame of a torch, powdered iron reacts with oxygen from the air to form iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3: 4 Fe(s) + 3 O02(g) → 2 Fe2O3(s) If 2.50 g Fe2O3 is formed by this reaction, calculate the maximum total mass of iron metal and oxygen that reacted.
