The reactant which is entirely consumed in reaction is known as limiting reagent. In the reaction $2 A+4 B \rightarrow 3 C+4 D$, when 5 moles of $A$ react with 6 moles of $B$, then
(a) which is the limiting reagent?
(b) calculate the amount of $C$ formed?
$$2 A+4 B \longrightarrow 3 C+4 D$$
According to the given reaction, 2 moles of $A$ react with 4 moles of $B$.
Hence, 5 moles of $A$ will react with 10 moles of $B\left(\frac{5 \times 4}{2}=10\right.$ moles $)$
(a) It indicates that reactant $B$ is limiting reagent as it will consume first in the reaction because we have only 6 moles of $B$.
(b) Limiting reagent decide the amount of product produced.
According to the reaction,
4 moles of $B$ produces 3 moles of $C$
$\therefore 6$ moles of $B$ will produce $\frac{3 \times 6}{4}=4.5$ moles of $C$.

C. Mole $=\frac{\text { Mass }(\mathrm{g})}{\text { Molar mass }\left(\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\right)}=\mathrm{mol}$
D. Molality $=$ concentration in mol per kg solvent
Molality $=\frac{\text { Number of moles }}{\text { Mass of solvent }(\mathrm{kg})}$
E. The SI unit for pressure is the pascal $(\mathrm{Pa})$, equal to one newton per square metre $\left(\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^2\right.$ or $\left.\mathrm{kg} . \mathrm{m}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\right)$. This special name for the unit was added in 1971; before that, pressure in SI was expressed simply as $\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^2$.
F. Unit of luminous intensity = candela.
The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency $540 \times 10^{\text {12 }}$ hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of $1 / 683$ watt per steradian.
G. Density $=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { volume }}=\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mL}^{-1}$
H. Unit of mass $=$ kilogram
The kilogram is the unit of mass; it is equal to the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram
