100 g manganese dioxide reacts with 300g hydrochloric acid in the reaction shown bellow. MnO2 + 4 HCl -> 2 H2O + Cl2 use the following molar masses: MnO2 = 86.9g HCl = 36.5g MnCl2= 125.8g H2O= 18.02g Cl2= 70.9g 1.) Which reactant is limiting? 2) Which reactant is excess? 3) What is the theoretical yield of Cl2?
