Need more water than you have so not enough water (limiting reactant) and too much carbon tetrahydride (excess reactant). OR
Can make a LOT more hydrogen with the carbon tetrahydride, so the carbon tetrahydride is in excess and the water is limiting. You make 40.5 L Hydrogen.
There is plenty of Lead II Nitrate. Lead II Nitrate is in excess and Sodium Chloride is limiting. OR Determine how much product each reactant can produce.
Same result – Sodium Chloride is limiting (it makes the least amount of the product) and Lead II Nitrate is in excess (it can make the most amount of the product). 36.4 g PbCl 2 is produced Determine how much Lead II Nitrate is needed to fully react the 15.3 g of sodium chloride (the limiting reactant).
Sodium Chloride is limiting Lead II Nitrate is in excess 36.4 g PbCl 2 is produced 17.4 g Pb(NO 3 ) 2 will be left over
