Given a solution containing 3.75 grams of PbCl2, you add enough Ru(OH)5 powder to completely use all of the PbCl2. What is the limiting reagent?

The limiting reagent is the PbCl2.

1) Complete and balance the reaction. Identify the state of each substance.

5 PbCl2 (aq) + 2 Ru(OH)5 (s) ---> 2 RuCl5 (s) + 5 Pb(OH)2 (aq)

2) Identify the type of reaction.

This is a metathesis reaction, sometimes called a "double displacement" reaction. These are reactions where two compounds react to form ...
