8. Sucrose (C₁₂H₂2O1) reacts with potassium chlorate according to the following balanced equation: C12H22O11 (s) + 8 KCIO, (s) → 12 CO₂ (g) + 11 H₂O(g) + 8 KCl (s) Suppose 3.5 moles of C12H22O11 are mixed with 21.0 moles of KCIO,. Identify the limiting reactant, then calculate how many moles of each product (CO2, H₂O and KCI) will be formed in this reaction.​

Answer:

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:12 C0 - 48 e- → 12 CIV (oxidation)8 ClV + 48 e- → 8 Cl-I (reduction)C12H22O11 is a reducing agent, KClO3 is an oxidizing agent.This is a gas evolution reaction, CO2 is the formed gas.Reactants:C12H22O11 – Β-D-Fructofuranosyl α-D-glucopyranoside , (2R,3R,4S,5S,6R)-2-[(2S,3S,4S,5R)-3,4-dihydroxy-2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-yl]oxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-3,4,5-triol Other names: Sucrose , {{ubl , Saccharose ... show moreAppearance: White solid ; White solid in various forms ; Hard, white, odorless crystals, lumps, or powder.
