The reaction equation with conventional capitalization is:
Al(OH)3 + 3 HCl -> AlCl3 + 3 H2O.
The gram formula unit masses are 78.00 for aluminum hydroxide, 133.34 for aluminum chloride, 36.46 for hydrogen chloride, and 18.015 for water. Therefore, the relative mass ratios are (78.00) to [3(18.015)] or about 1.443 for the ratio of the two reactants.
The mass ratio of the specified available amounts of the two reactants is 385/256 or about 1.503, which is greater than the theoretical amount. Therefore, the limiting reactant is HCl.
The stoichiometric reactant mass ratio of aluminum chloride to hydrogen chloride is about 133.34/(3)(36.46) or about 1.219. Therefore, a fully reacted amount of 256 g of hydrogen chloride will produce about (1.219)(256) or about 312 g of aluminum chloride. (The provided data for masses has three significant digits, so that the answer should also have three significant digits.)
The reactant that is used up first in a reaction.
Limiting reactant is the one that limits the rate of the reaction. It is always supplied in adequate amount so that there is enough for the reaction to carry out to obtain the desired products. under ideal cases, When the reaction reaches completion there will be no limiting reactant.
The limiting reagent (aka limiting reactant) is the substance which is completely used in a chemical reaction.
limiting reactant controls the amount of product formed in a chemical reaction because it is found in smaller quantity and consumed earlier .Due to this reason the chemical reaction stops and no additional product is formed
is the reactant which will be used up in the reaction, before the other reactant(s)
The reactant that is used up first in a reaction.
The Limiting Reactant is the reactant that runs out first in a reaction.
In a chemical reaction the limiting reactant is the reactant that there is the least of in the reaction; it determines the amount of product formed. In a chemical reaction it is the reactant that gets completely "used up"
The Limiting Reactant is the reactant that runs out first in a reaction.
Using an excess of another reactant limits a reactant.
The Limiting Reactant is the reactant that runs out first in a reaction.
The yield of the reaction depends in this case only on the concentration of the limiting reactant.
Limiting reactant
When the limiting reactant is completely used up. A limiting reactant is the reactant that determines the amount of product. To determine this use the balanced chemical reaction with the masses of the reactants to determine the moles of product formed. The reactant that forms the least amount of product will be the limiting reactant.
Because the limiting reactant It is completely consumed before the other reactant.
reaction will stop.
Limiting reactant is the one that limits the rate of the reaction. It is always supplied in adequate amount so that there is enough for the reaction to carry out to obtain the desired products. under ideal cases, When the reaction reaches completion there will be no limiting reactant.
