Answer:
Option A is correct.
Pb(ClO3)2 was the limiting reagent, and Na2CrO4 remained in the solution.
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Solution A = 88.0 grams Pb(ClO3)2
Molar mass Pb(ClO3)2 = 374.1 g/mol
Solution B = 40.9 grams of Na2CrO4
Molar mass Na2CrO4 = 161.97 g/mol
Step 2: The balanced equation
Pb(ClO3)2(aq) + Na2CrO4(aq) → PbCrO4(s) + 2 NaClO3(aq)
Step 3: Calculate moles
Moles = mass / molar mass
Moles Pb(ClO3)2 = 88.0 grams / 374.1 g/mol
Moles Pb(ClO3)2 = 0.235 moles
Moles Na2CrO4 = 40.9 grams / 161.97 g/mol
Moles Na2CrO4 = 0.253 moles
Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant
For 1 mol Pb(ClO3)2 we need 1 mol Na2CrO4 to produce 1 mol PbCrO4 and 2 moles NaClO3
Pb(ClO3)2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.235 moles). Na2CrO4 is in excess. There will react 0.235 moles. There will remain 0.253 - 0.235 = 0.018 moles
Option A is correct.
Pb(ClO3)2 was the limiting reagent, and Na2CrO4 remained in the solution.
