Question:

Given the equation 3A + B → C + D, you react 2 moles of A with 1 mole of B. Which of the following is true? O A is the limiting reactant because you need 3 moles of A and have 2. OB is the limiting reactant because 3 A molecules react with 1 B molecule.

Given the equation 3A + B → C + D, you react 2 moles of A with 1 mole of B. Which of the following is true? A is the limiting reactant because you need 3 moles of A and have 2. B is the limiting reactant because 3 A molecules react with 1 B molecule. A is the limiting reactant because of its higher molar mass. B is the limiting reactant because you have fewer moles of B than A. Neither reactant is limiting.
