Answer:
1. H₂SO₄
Explanation:
A balanced equation tells us how each reactant and product is related to each other in terms of moles.
The equation given has already been balanced since the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow. From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of H₂SO₄ reacts with 2 moles of NaOH. Whichever reactant that we do not have enough of to make more products is known as the limiting reagent, since it limits the amount of products formed.
Mole ratio of H₂SO₄: NaOH= 1: 2
The amount of NaOH needed is twice the amount of H₂SO₄ in terms of moles.
Given that there are 0.40 moles of H₂SO₄, let's calculate the amount of NaOH needed.
Amount of NaOH needed
= 2(0.40)
= 0.80 moles
However, there are only 0.75 moles of H₂SO₄. Since 0.75 <0.80, H₂SO₄ is the limiting reactant.
