Question

The illustration to the left represents a mixture of hydrogen ( light blue ) and iodine ( purple ) reacting to form a product. In the illustration: The product that forms is . The number of product molecules formed is . The limiting reagent is

Answer 1

1. Hydrogen Iodide

2. 6 molecules of Hydrogen Iodide

3. Iodine is the limiting reagent

Step-by-step explanation:

The image of the illustration in the question has been attached:

1. The illustration represents a mixture of hydrogen ( light blue ) and iodine ( purple )

H₂ + I₂ ---> 2HI

This forms hydrogen iodide.

2. In the given illustration, 6 product molecules of Hydrogen Iodide. This is indicated in the box on the right side of the illustration.

3. The limiting reagent is the reactant that determines how much of the products are made. It is the substance that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed. In the box on the right side of the illustration, you will see that hydrogen which is indicated by blue is in excess. The limiting reagent is the one that is completely consumed which is the iodine.
