A classic chemistry class demonstration is the burning of magnesium ribbon with a Bunsen burner. In this demonstration, two chemical reactions are occurring: the burning of methane gas and the reaction between oxygen and magnesium. Of the two reactions, what is the only limiting reactant?

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
