Answer to Question #174895 in General Chemistry for Aiden

Question

What is the limiting reactant given 25g C6H6 and 25g Br2?

Answer 1

C6H6 + Br2 = C6H5Br + HBr

Since they have the same mass, the reagent with lesser mole will be the limiting reagent

Since number of mole is inversely proportional to molar mass, the reagent with higher molar mass will have the lesser number is mole = Bromine gas
