If you have 2 Moles of C3H6 and 10 Moles of O2, which reactant is limiting the following reaction: 2C3H6 + 9O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O? CO2
H2O
C3H6
O2

The limiting reactant is propene, .

Explanation:

Moles of nitrogen propene  = 2 mol

Moles of oxygen  = 10 mol

According to reaction, 2 moles of propene reacts with 9 moles of oxygen gas, then 2 moles of propene will react with:

According to the question, we have 10 moles of oxygen gas, which is more than 9 moles of oxygen gas. This indicates that propene is present in a limiting amount hence, it is a limiting reactant.

The limiting reactant is propene, hence the correct answer is the .

yes it is balanced
