Answer:
Iron is limiting reactant
Explanation:
Based on the reaction:
Fe + S → FeS
<em>1 mole of iron reacts per mole of Sulfur</em>
To solve this question we must convert the mass of each reactant to moles using molar masses of each reactant. As the reaction is 1:1, the reactant with the lower amount of moles is limiting reactant.
<em>Moles Fe -Molar mass: 55.845g/mol-</em>
4.68g * (1mol / 55.845g) = 0.0838 moles
<em>Moles S -Molar mass: 32.065g/mol-</em>
2.88g * (1mol / 32.065g) = 0.0898 moles
As the amount of moles of Fe < Moles S,
Iron is limiting reactant
