What Reactant is Limiting if 3000 Cm³ of Cl2 at STP React?
This depends on the quantity of the other reactant.
At STP, 1 mole of Cl2 occupies 22.4 liters. Use stoichiometric calculations for specifics.
To determine the limiting reactant, we need to know the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. I will assume a common reaction involving Cl2:
2Cl2 + 2H2 → 2HCl + H2
or
Cl2 + 2KI → 2KCl + I2
However, I can guide you through the general process:
1. Write the balanced chemical equation.
2. Calculate the number of moles of each reactant.
3. Compare the mole ratio of reactants to the coefficients in the balanced equation.
4. Identify the reactant that is present in the least amount, relative to its coefficient.
