in the formation of silicon carbide represented by the chemical equation SiO2+3C-->SiC+2CO,8.0 mole of each reactant are available for the reaction. What substance is the limiting reactant?

Respuesta :

ardni313

The limiting reactant : C

Further explanation

Limiting reactant : the smaller ratio from mol and their reaction coefficient

Reaction

SiO₂+3C⇒SiC+2CO

Reactants : SiO₂ and C

mol ratio

  • SiO₂ :

[tex]\tt \dfrac{8}{1}=8[/tex]

  • C :

[tex]\tt \dfrac{8}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\tt \dfrac{8}{3}<8\rightarrow C~as~limiting~reactant[/tex]
