Question

Consider the reaction, N2(g) + O2(g) ? 2NO(g)
The molecular image represents a mixture of N2(g) and O2(g) just before reaction occurs.
What is the limiting reactant and how much of the excess reactant remains after the reaction is complete?   The image contains 2 N2 molecules and 4 O2 molecules
A. N2(g), 0 O2(g) B. N2(g), 2 O2(g) C. N2(g), 3 O2(g) D. O2(g), 1 N2(g) E. N2(g), 1 O2(g) Consider the reaction, N2(g) + O2(g) ? 2NO(g)

Explanation / Answer

2 N2 molecules and 4 O2 molecules

so N2(g) + O2(g) ? 2NO(g)

we see 1 mole of N2 reacts witn 1 mole of O2

so limiting is N2 as this is 2 mole and 2 mole of O2 remains

so B
