For A: Aluminium is the limiting reagent.

For B: Oxygen gas is the limiting reagent.

For C: Aluminium is the limiting reagent.

For D: Aluminium is the limiting reagent.

Explanation:

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is present in less amount and it limits the formation of products.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is present in large amount.

For the given chemical reaction:

$4Al(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3(s)$

For A: 1 mol Al, 1 mol O_2

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of aluminium reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas

So, 1 mole of aluminum will react with = $\frac{3}{4}\times 1=0.75moles$ of oxygen gas.

As, the given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, aluminium is the limiting reagent.

For B: 4 mol Al, 2.6 mol O_2

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of oxygen gas reacts with 4 moles of aluminium

So, 2.6 moles of oxygen gas will react with = $\frac{4}{3}\times 2.6=3.458moles$ of aluminium.

As, the given amount of aluminium is more than the required amount. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, oxygen gas is the limiting reagent.

For C: 16 mol Al, 13 mol O_2

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of aluminium reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas

So, 16 mole of aluminum will react with = $\frac{3}{4}\times 16=12moles$ of oxygen gas.

As, the given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, aluminium is the limiting reagent.

For D: 7.4 mol Al, 6.5 mol O_2

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of aluminium reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas

So, 7.4 mole of aluminum will react with = $\frac{3}{4}\times 7.4=5.55moles$ of oxygen gas.

As, the given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, aluminium is the limiting reagent.

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
