Question: What is the limiting reagent when 5 moles of A react with 3 moles of B in the reaction A + 2B β C?
Options:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
The reaction requires 2 moles of B for every mole of A. For 5 moles of A, 10 moles of B are needed. Since only 3 moles of B are available, B is the limiting reagent.
