A
One of the reactant, which is present in limited amount and determines the amount of product, called as limiting reactant. Whereas another reactant is called as excess reactant.
Answer to Problem 113A
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Potassium reacts with oxygen to form oxide.
The reaction between potassium with oxygen forms potassium oxide. The chemical reaction can be written as:
To balance the chemical equation, the number of atom must be same at both side. Thus the balance chemical equation must be:
Reaction of potassium with oxygen to form oxide.
