The Combustion of gasoline follows the following balanced equation. 2C8H18 + 25O2 → 18 H2O + 16 CO2 + Energy
If you have 4 moles of C8H18 (Isooctane) and 40 moles of O2 (oxygen gas) which reactant is the limiting reactant and which is the excess reactant.
Explain how you made that determination.
Include another real-world example to explain the concept of a limiting reactant.
(Your writing should include scientific terminologies such as moles, limiting reactant, excess reactant, and product)
