Limiting reactant

[Baria Alaswad 2E]

Photosynthesis is essential for life. Plants convert CO2 and H2O into glucose (C6H12O6), a primary source of energy, and oxygen, which is needed for respiration. If 20.00 g of CO2 reacts to form 50,0 mg of glucose, what is the limiting reagent and how much of it was initially present?

Hi Baria, in order solve to solve this problem you must do the following steps to get your answer
1. identify reactants and products
2. write and balance the equation of run
3. calculate molar mass of each R & P
4.)convert known masses of R&P to moles
5.) compare calculated moles to required moles to determine if there is a limiting reactant
6.) based on moles of limiting reactant, calculate moles of product than can form
7.) then convert moles of p to grams
