Given the equation 3A + B $\to$ C + D,you react 1 mole of A with 3 moles of B.
True or false: A is the limiting reactant because you have fewer moles of A than B.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The limiting reactant is determined not just by the number of moles of reactants available but by the stoichiometry of the reaction. Without knowing the stoichiometric coefficients of A and B in the balanced equation, we cannot determine the limiting reactant solely based on the moles provided.
