If 8 moles of FeS2 react with 15 moles of O2, the limiting reactant is O2.

WHAT IS LIMITING REACTANT:

  • A limiting reactant is reactant that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed.

  • According to this question, the following reaction was given: 4FeS2 + 11O2 → 2Fe2O3 + 8SO2.

4 moles of FeS₂ reacts with 11 moles of O₂

  • This means, 8 moles of FeS₂ will react with (8 × 11/2) = 22 moles of O₂

15 moles of O₂ is available. In comparison with 22 moles, O₂ is in short supply .

Therefore, If 8 moles of FeS2 react with 15 moles of O2, O₂ is the limiting reagent.
