Limiting Reactant Problems
In the chemical reaction:
2 Al + 3 Br2 2 AlBr3
In the chemical reaction:
2 Al + 3 Br2 2 AlBr3
In the chemical reaction:
2 Al + 3 Br2 2 AlBr3
2 moles of Al require 3 moles of Br2 to produce 2 moles of AlBr3
In the chemical reaction
2 Al + 3 Br2 2 AlBr3
2 moles of Al require 3 moles of Br2 to produce 2 moles of AlBr3
What if Al and Br2 are not present in a perfect 2 : 3 ratio?
