If you have 2 moles of A and 3 moles of B, Identify the limiting reagent in the following reaction. A + B → AB
A
B
A as well as B
None
2 moles of A will react with 2 moles of B and 1 mole of B will be left unreacted.
The reactant which is entirely consumed in reaction is known as limiting reagent. In the reaction 2A+4B→3C+4D, when 5 moles of A react with 6 moles of B, then
(i) Which is the limiting reagent ?
(ii) Calculate the amount of C formed ?
