4.4 Exercise 12

Avg difficulty 2.5

Outline the steps needed to determine the limiting reactant when 0.50 mol of Cr and 0.75 mol of H3PO4 react according to the following chemical equation.
2Cr+2H3PO4⟶2CrPO4+3H22 \text{Cr} + 2 \text{H}_{3} \text{PO}_{4} \rightarrow 2 \text{CrPO}_{4} + 3 \text{H}_{2}

Determine the limiting reactant.
