1. 2Mn02 + 4KOH + O2 + CL2 ---> 2KMnO4 + 2KCL + 2H2O
For the reaction above, there is 100.0g of each reactant available. Which reagent is the limiting reagent?

First, in the balanced reaction, the coefficients mean that for 2 mol of MnO2 to be consumed completely, 4 mol of KOH, 1 mol of O2 and 1 mol of Cl2 are needed.
Based on the definition of limiting reagent, it is the one that is consumed completely.
Then we need to figure out the molar amount for each reactant. To do that, we need to figure out the molar mass for each reactant:
MnO2: 54.9+16.0*2=86.9 g/mol (Note: 54.9 and 16.0 for Mn and O could be found in the periodic table)
KOH: 39.1+16.0+1.0=56.1 g/mol.
O2: 16.0*2=32.0 g/mol
Cl2: 35.5*2=71.0 g/mol
Once we have the molar mass, we use the formula mass/molar mass to find out the molar amount:
MnO2: 100/86.9=1.15 mol
KOH: 100/56.1=1.78 mol
O2: 100/32.0=3.13 mol
Cl2: 100/71.0=1.41 mol
Then we find out the ratio between these reactants:
1.15:1.78:3.13:1.41=0.8:1.3:2.2:1 (Note: I make the Cl2 ratio as 1 to make it comparable to the ratio in ...
