Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 3

Identify limiting reactant from extents

A reaction in a fertiliser production example uses ratio A:B = 2:2. Available amounts are \(1.1\,\text{mol}\) A and \(1.2\,\text{mol}\) B. Identify the limiting reactant. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the chemistry.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
