It depends of how much of your reactants you have. start off with just one of the reactants and use dimentional analysis, which is difficult to do on a computer but i bet you should know how to do it. you just start off with one of the given amounts and use the molar ratio in the balanced chemical equation and judging on both of your reactants choose the one that is completely used up in the RxN.

IF a reaction vessel contains 0.15 moles of LiOH and 0.08 moles of CO2 which compound is the limiting reagent?

Carbon dioxide is the limiting reagent.


Why does the carbon dioxide vary with time during an acid and carbonate reaction?

The reaction of an acid with a carbonate produces CO2 gas. Initially, there is no CO2, but as the reaction proceeds, CO2 is produced and the level of CO2 increases. When one or both of the reactants runs out (is limiting), the production of CO2 ceases. The general reaction looks like this: 2H^+ + CO3^2- ---> H2CO3 ---> CO2(g) + H2O


What reaction occurs when CO2 is aerated into pure water?

Bicarbonate reaction CO2 + H20 ⇋ H+ + HC03-


If 2.35 moles of CO2 are produced in a reaction how many moles of H2O would be produced?

Balanced equation. ( this is a equilibrium reaction ) H2 + CO2 >< H2O + CO this is one to one, so 65.1 moles is the answer. 65.1 mols H2O (1mol H2/1mol H2O ) = 65.1 moles H2


When 85.0 g of CH4 are mixed with 160 g of O2 what is the maximum amount of CO2 that can be produced?

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of CH4 and O2 to produce CO2 is: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O First, calculate the limiting reactant by converting the given masses of CH4 and O2 to moles. Then, use the stoichiometry of the reaction to determine the maximum amount of CO2 that can be produced, based on the limiting reactant.


How much C2H4N2 could be expected from the reaction of 13.6 grams CO2 2.21 grams NH3 and 1.64 grams of CH4?

To determine the expected yield of C2H4N2 from the reaction of CO2, NH3, and CH4, we first need to identify the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. Assuming the reaction is balanced, we would calculate the moles of each reactant (CO2, NH3, and CH4) and identify the limiting reagent. The limiting reagent will dictate the maximum amount of C2H4N2 that can be produced. Since specific stoichiometric coefficients are not provided, you would need to perform these calculations based on the balanced equation to find the exact mass of C2H4N2 produced.


Why concept of limiting reactant is not applied to reversible reaction?

Concept of limiting reactant is not applicable to the reversible reactions because in these reactions all the reactants are converted into products and no reactants remain at the end of the reaction.


What is the reactant called that gets used up first?

The Limiting Reactant is the reactant that runs out first in a reaction.


What is the rate-limiting step of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction?

The rate-limiting step of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is the slowest step in the reaction that determines the overall rate at which the reaction proceeds.


Which reagent is the limiting reagent in a reaction?

The one that runs out first in a reaction - is thoroughly accurate. There are quite a few other limiting reagents in limiting reactions - as well.


What is the definetions of limiting reactant in chemistery?

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"


What is the reactant that runs first out in a reaction called?

The Limiting Reactant is the reactant that runs out first in a reaction.
