Which of the following is NOT a true statement concerning limiting and excess reactnants? 1. a balanced equation is necessary to determine the limiting reactant

2.the reactant that has the smallest given mass is the limiting reactant

3. some of the reactant is left over after the reaction is complete

4.the amount of product made is determined by the limiting reactant

Answerthis solution will not form a precipitateexplanationsolubility equilbrium:         pbf₂(s)  ⇄ pb²⁺(aq) + 2 f⁻(aq)the solubility product expression is    (we exclude solids from the equilibrium expression).now suppose we have the trial ion product q, which we can define as    then, we can interpret  q as the product of the concentration of the ions that we have and ksp as the product of the ion concentrations that are needed to form a saturated solution.if q > ksp, then that implies that there will be a surplus of ions that exceed the amount that is required to form a saturated solution. a precipitate will then form (the precipitate continually  forms until the surplus ions are removed and q is decreased to ksp's value).if q = ksp, the saturated solution that forms is barely saturated and the precipitate will be minimal.if q < ksp, then the ion concentration will not be enough to form a saturated solution (so no precipitate).using our information, we calculate the trial ion product:     since q = 2.7  × 10⁻⁸ < ksp =  4  ×  10⁻⁸, a precipitate will not form.

Moles = mass/molar mass the molar mass of c20 = 12.011*20 = 240.22 g per mole therefore, the number of moles is 20 g / 240.22 g per mol = 0.0833 moles.
