In a reaction A+B2gives AB2, Identify the limiting reagent if 300 atoms of A reacts with 200 molecules of B2.
Reaction is
A + B2 → AB2
here 1 mol of A reacts with 1 mol of B2 to form 1 mol of AB2.
Since 300 atoms of A is reacting with 200 molecules of B2. Therefore A is in excess because it should react with 300 molecules of B2.
So B2 is a limiting reagent.
