The number of moles of b2o3 that will be formed is determined as 4 moles.
The limiting reagent is the reactant that will be completely used up.
4 b + 3O₂ → 2b₂O₃
from the equation above;
4 b ------------> 2 b₂O₃
2b ------------> b₂O₃
2 : 1
3O₂ -------------> 2b₂O₃
3 : 2
b is the limiting reagent, thus, the amount of b2o3 to be formed is calculated as;
4 b ------------> 2 moles of b2o3
8 moles -------> ?
= (8 x 2)/4
= 4 moles
Thus, the number of moles of b2o3 that will be formed is determined as 4 moles.
