Identifying the Limiting Reagent in Acid-Base Reaction
Very Hard General Chemistry Stoichiometry And Chemical Reactions
A chemical reaction occurs when 25.0 g of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is dissolved in water to completely neutralize 20.0 g of hydrochloric acid (HCl). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:
NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)
Assuming complete reaction and no loss of material, what is the limiting reagent in this reaction?
