For each of the following unbalanced reactions, suppose exactly 5.00 g of each reactant is taken. Determine which reactant is limiting, and also determine what mass of the excess reagent will remain after the limiting reactant is consumed.

Explain how one determines which reactant in a process is the limiting reactant. Does this depend only on the masses of the reactant present? Give an example of how to determine the limiting reactant by using a Before-Change-After (RCA) table with a balanced chemical equation and reactant starling amounts.
Consider the equation: 2A+B5C. If 10.0 g of A reacts with 5.00 g of B. how is the limiting reactant determined? Choose the best answer and explain. l type='a'> Choose the reactant with the smallest coefficient in the balanced chemical equation. So in this case, the limiting reactant is B. Choose the reactant with the smallest mass given. So in this case, the limiting reactant is The mass of each reactant must be converted to moles and then compared to the ratios in the balanced chemical equation. So in this case, the limiting reactant cannot be determined without the molar masses of A and B. The mass of each reactant must he converted to moles first. The reactant with the fewest moles present is the limiting reactant. So in this case, the limiting reactant cannot be determined without the molar masses of A and B. The mass of each reactant must be divided by their coefficients in the balanced chemical equation, and the smallest number present is the limiting reactant. So in this case, there is no limiting reactant because A and B arc used up perfectly.
Consider the following generic reaction: Y2+2XY2XY2 In a limiting reactant problem, a certain quantity of each reactant is given and you are usually asked to calculate the mass of product formed. If 10.0 g of Y2 is reacted with 10.0 g of XY, outline two methods you could use to determine which reactant is limiting (runs out first) and thus determines the mass of product formed.
