Consider the hypothetical reaction: 3A₂ + 2B → C + 2D If 6.0 moles of A are mixed with 2.0 moles of B,what is the maximum amount of C that can be formed?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The limiting reactant is B since it has a lower mole ratio compared to A (2.0 moles of B to 6.0 moles of A, with the reaction requiring 2 moles of B for every 3 moles of A). Therefore, 2.0 moles of B can produce 1.0 mole of C according to the stoichiometry of the reaction.
