Question

Fe2O3+3CO --> 2Fe+3CO2 Limiting Reactant in Balanced Equation?

Answer 1

Fe2O3+3CO --> 2Fe+3CO2

Answer 2

Try look at this http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/559c49b4e4b0f93dd7c278ad

Answer 3

Given a initial concentration you can solve for the theoretical yield of 1 product whethet it be 2Fe or 3CO2 in this reaction. Whichever reactant produces the least amount of product is the limiting reagent and will be used up first in the reaction.

Answer 4

I found out how to do it by this youtube video that gives good examples https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvCPLCQ-YK0

3.2 molFe x 1 mol Fe2O3/2 mol Fe= 3.2 mol
2.3 molCO x 1 molFe2O3/ 3 mol CO = 0.7666

CO is the limiting reactant

thanks everyone:)
