Solution:
nC=12g/mol26g=2.16 nO2=32g/mol20g=0.625 O2 will be a limiting reagent in reaction (i) nN2=28g/mol60g=2.14 nH2=40
According to balanced equation, 1mol of N2 requires 3 mole of H2 2.14mol of N2 require 6.42mol of H2 N2 will be a limiting reagent in reaction (ii) nP4=4×31100g=0.86;nO2=6.25
According to balanced equation 1mol of P4 require 3mol of O2 0.86mol of P4 require 2.58mol of O2
So, P4 is a limiting reagent in reaction (iii)
