Chapter 8, Problem 44E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Limiting reactant is to be determined when each of the initial quantities of reactant undergoes reaction.

Concept introduction:

The amount of reactant which makes least amount of product is known as limiting

reactant.

The stoichiometric calculations are used in the conversion factor.

Mole to mole conversion factor =$\frac{\text{number of moles of product}}{\text{number of moles of reactant}}$

The reactant which has reacted completely in the reaction is called limiting reactant.

The amount of product formed depends on the limiting reactant.
