The reactant which is entirely consumed in the reaction is known as limiting reagent. In the reaction 2A + 4B → 3C + 4D, when 5 moles of A react with 6 moles of B, then (i) which is the limiting reagent? (ii) calculate the amount of C formed?

(i) The reactant B is the the limiting reagent.

(ii) Calculation:

Let us consider that the reactant B got completely consumed as it is the limiting reagent.

4 mol of B gives 3 mol of C

6 mol of B gives 4.5 mol of C
