Answer to Question #21050 in Inorganic Chemistry for Secretly

Question

What is the limiting reagent and what is the quantity of SiC results from the reaction of 1.0g of Si and 0.5g of C? at, mass of Si= 28.08g/mol

Answer 1

n(Si)= 1g/28.08g/mol = 0.0356 mol
n(C) = 0.5g/12g/mol = 0.0416 mol
Si + C = SiC
the limiting reagent - Si, because silicon in excess.
