1 mol of Cu was added to a solution containing 4 moles of HNO3 which react according to the following chemical equation 3Cu(s) + 8HNO3(aq) ? 3Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 4H2O(l) + 2NO(g) What is the limiting reactant (LR) and how many moles of NO could be produced? (no calculators) 1. LR=Cu, 1.5 moles of NO. 2. LR=HNO3, 2 moles of NO. 3. LR=Cu, 2/3 moles of NO. 4. LR=HNO3, 1/2 mole of NO. 5. LR=Cu, 1 mole of NO.

3 mol of Cu was added to a solution containing 4 moles of HNO3, which react according to the following chemical equation: 3Cu + 8HNO3 -> 3Cu(NO3)2 + 4H2O + 2NO What is the limiting reactant (LR) and how many moles of NO could be produced? Select one: a) LR=Cu, 2 mol of NO. b) LR=Cu, 2/3 mol of NO. c) LR=Cu, 1 mol of NO. d) LR=HNO3, 2 mol of NO. e) LR=HNO3, 1 mol of NO.

If 12.7 moles of Cu and 41.5 moles of HNO3 are allowed to react, how many moles of excess reactant will remain if the reaction goes to completion? 3 Cu + 8 HNO3 -> 3 Cu(NO3)2 + 2 NO + 4 H2O

3 Cu + 8 HNO3 → 3 Cu(NO3)2 + 2 NO + 4 H2O In the above equation, how many moles of NO can be made when 82 moles of HNO3 are consumed?
