1. mol ratio of Al(NO₃)₃ : Na₂CO₃ = 2 : 3
2. Na₂CO₃ as a limiting reactant
Further explanation
Given
Reaction
2 Al(NO₃)₃ + 3 Na₂CO₃ → Al₂(CO₃)₃ + 6 NaNO₃
Required
mol ratio
Limiting reactant
Solution
The reaction coefficient in the chemical equation shows the mole ratio of the components of the compound involved in the reaction (reactants and products)
1. From the equation mol ratio of Al(NO₃)₃ : Na₂CO₃ = 2 : 3
2. mol : coefficient of Al(NO₃)₃ : Na₂CO₃ = 2 mole/2 : 2 mole/3 = 1 : 0.67
Na₂CO₃ as a limiting reactant (smaller)
