1. The balanced chemical equation is 4 Al(s) + 3 O₂( g) → 2 Al₂O₃(s). This tells us that for every 4 moles of Al, we need 3 moles of O₂ to completely react.

2. For each scenario, calculate the mole ratio of Al to O₂ and compare it to the stoichiometric ratio from the balanced equation. The reactant that is less than or equal to its stoichiometric ratio is the limiting reactant.

3. For scenario a, the mole ratio of Al to O₂ is 4/2 = 2. The stoichiometric ratio from the balanced equation is 4/3. Since 2 < 4/3, O₂ is the limiting reactant.

4. Repeat step 3 for scenarios b, c, and d. For scenario b, the mole ratio of Al to O₂ is 5/3. For scenario c, the mole ratio of Al to O₂ is 17/11. For scenario d, the mole ratio of Al to O₂ is 8.8/7.2.

5. In each case, the reactant that has a mole ratio less than or equal to the stoichiometric ratio from the balanced equation is the limiting reactant. This is the reactant that will be completely consumed first in the reaction.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Limiting Reactant

The limiting reactant is the substance that is completely consumed first in a chemical reaction, thus determining the maximum amount of product that can be formed. To identify it, one must compare the mole ratios of the reactants used in the reaction with the coefficients from the balanced chemical equation.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on the balanced equation. It involves using mole ratios derived from the coefficients of the balanced equation to determine how much of each reactant is needed or how much product can be produced.

Mole Ratio

Mole ratio is the ratio of moles of one substance to moles of another substance in a balanced chemical equation. It is essential for converting between moles of reactants and products, allowing chemists to predict how much of each reactant is required to fully react or how much product will be formed.
