Question

Can someone explain to me how to find the limiting reactant please? I'm so lost and my teacher explains it in a way that I don't comprehend.

Answer 1

Are u dere?

Answer 2

Yes.

Answer 3

Ok. Your limiting reactant is the reactant or reagent that restricts the amount of product formed

Answer 4

Okay, but how does the math apply to any of it?

Answer 5

Ok d math tells if one of the reactant can produce x amount at a certain given numba of moles product and d other can produce more at a certain given number of moles or grams then d one that produces less is d one limiting the reaction.

Answer 6

e.g if 225g of sicl4 produces 38.9g of si and 225g of Mg produces 190 g of si that means all of sicl4 will be used up when 38.9g of si is formed whereas Mg is still on

Answer 7

and is still available to produce more now since SiCl4 is used up d reaction stops

Answer 8

do u get it now?

Answer 9

Not fully. This is a question that she gave us and it states "In the reaction Fe2(subscript)O3 + 3CO >>>>(yields) 2Fe(l) +3CO2 (g), if you started with 300g of Fe2O3 and 84 g of CO, which would be the limiting reactant?" How would I solve this? I'm sorry if I'm being bothersome I just don't fully comprehend the way most people would.

Answer 10

@diamondboy are you there?

Answer 11

yep

Answer 12

its ok

Answer 13

I'm still really lost. Can you explain the problem I gave? We had a substitute so I couldn't ask any questions because she didn't know chemistry.

Answer 14

ok I would

Answer 15

And the test is tomorrow an she's sick. (My teacher)
