HELP!! PLEASE 10+ points! Can you tell from the masses of the reactants which one of the reactants will be the limiting reactant? Defend your answer (use an equation within your defense).

Explanation:

so, limiting reactants are the reactant which limit the continuing of the reaction or in simple word they are the element that run out first and are totally consumed

equation :

2koh+h2so4⇒ k2so4 +2h2o

if we have 4 mol of h2so4 and 3 mol of 2koh

                 number of produced moles of k2so4 on consuming all :

h2so4 ⇒ k2so4

1 mol          1 mol

4 mol            ?mol

no of mol of k2so4 if all h2so4 is consumed 4 mol

2koh⇒ k2so4

2 mol       1 mol

3 mol         ?mol

no of mol of k2so4 if we consume all koh = 1.5 mol

since the koh produces less mol on consuming it all

the koh is the limiting reactant
