Expert Answer
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is
2H2 + O2 ? 2H2O
Moles of H2 = 3/2 = 1.5 mol
Moles of O2 =29/32 =0.906 mol
(A) Calculation of limiting reactant:-
According to the above equation,
2 mol of H2 require O2 =1 mol
Therefore, 1.5 mol of H2 require O2 = 1.5 /2 =0.75 mol
moles of O2 present =0.906 mol
Thus, H2 is the limiting rectants.
(B) since H2 is the limiting reactant, so the amount of product formed depend on H2.
2 mol of H2 produced H2O = 2 mol
1.5 mol of H2 produced H2O =1.5 mol
Threrfore maximum amount of H2O formed =1.5 mol
(C) O2 remains unreacted.
Number of moles of O2 added = 0.906 mol
Number of moles of O2 used up =0.75 mol
Number of moles of O2 remain unreacted =(0.906-0.75)=0.156 mol
