6.0 moles of Fe2O3(s) reacts with 19.0 moles of C by the reaction, Fe2O3(s) + 3C(s) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO(g) What is the limiting reagent?
Added by Purificaci-N C.
Step 1
Given that 6.0 moles of Fe2O3 reacts with 19.0 moles of C, we can use the stoichiometry of the reaction to determine the number of moles of C required. From the balanced equation, 1 mole of Fe2O3 reacts with 3 moles of C. Therefore, for 6.0 moles of Fe2O3, the Show more…

Consider the following reaction: 4Fe + 3O2 -> 2Fe2O3. 7.50g of Fe is reacted with 2.00g of O2. What is the mass (in g) of Fe2O3 formed? (Hint: find limiting reagent)

For each of the following unbalanced reactions, suppose exactly 5.00 g of each reactant is taken. Determine which reactant is limiting, and also determine what mass of the excess reagent will remain after the limiting reactant is consumed. a. $\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{B}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{7}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \rightarrow$ $\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{BO}_{3}(s)+\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(a q)$ b. $\mathrm{CaC}_{2}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \rightarrow \mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}(s)+\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}(g)$ c. $\mathrm{NaCl}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(l) \rightarrow \mathrm{HCl}(g)+\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(s)$ d. $\mathrm{SiO}_{2}(s)+\mathrm{C}(s) \rightarrow \mathrm{Si}(l)+\mathrm{CO}(g)$
