Question

C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O-- If C3H8 is the limiting reactant in the reaction, which statement(s) are true? (There is more than one answer).

A) The amount of CO2 produced depends on the amount of C3H8 in the reaction.

B) The amount of CO2 produced depends on the amount of O2 in the reaction.

C) The amount of H2O produced depends on the amount of C3H8 in the reaction.

D) The amount of H2O produced depends on the amount of O2 in the reaction.

Answer 1

A & C. The limiting reactant LIMITS how much stuff you can make. Since C3H8 is LIMITED, we can only make so much CO2 and H2O until the C3H8 runs out.
