Question
In the Bunsen burner example with methane combustion, what is the limiting reagent when plenty of oxygen is available?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Under conditions with plenty of oxygen available, methane is the limiting reagent while oxygen is the excess reagent in the reaction CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g).
Hint
The notes identify methane as limiting when oxygen is plentiful.
