In the following equation: FeCl3 +O2 -->Fe2O3 +Cl2
what is the limiting reactant if 2 moles of FeCl3 react with 2 moles of O2?

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-

answer: option (d) is the correct answer.

explanation:

when a compound is split into different parts by the action of heat then it is known as thermal decomposition.

when is heated at high temperature then it rasults in the formation of magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide.

the reaction is as follows.
