MnO2 + 4HCl reacts to form MnCl2 + CL2 + 2H2O If .86 mol of MnO2 and 48.2 g of HCl react, which reactant is the limiting reagent

HCl:

m=48,2g
M=36,5g/mol

n = m/M = 48,2g / 36,5g/mol = 1,32mol

1mol : 4mol
MnO₂ + 4HCl ⇒ MnCl₂ + Cl₂ + 2H₂O
0,86mol : 1,32mol
limiting reagent
0,33 will react

HCl is limiting reagent.
