i) Which reactant is limiting? Show your working out (1.5 point).

20 g
Moles of O2 = = 0.625 mol
32.00g/mol

10 mol H2O

13 mol O2

200 g
Moles of C4H10 = = 3.441 mol
52.18 g/mol

10 mol H2O
Theoretical moles of H2O from C4H10 = 3.441 mol C4H10 x = 17.21 mol H2O
2 mol C4H10

O2 produces less product (in this case water)


therefore O2 is limiting reactant

Charge balance Charge balance

Cu → Cu+2 + 2e- 1e- + 2H+ + NO3- → NO2 + H2O


x1 x2
Cu → Cu+2 + 2e-

2e- + 4H+ + 2NO3- → 2NO2 + 2H2O
