Lead oxide can be reduced to lead by reaction with hydrogen:
PbO+H2→Pb+H2O\text{PbO} + \text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{Pb} + \text{H}_2\text{O}PbO+H2→Pb+H2O
A reaction mixture contains 11.15 g11.15\text{ g}11.15 g of lead oxide and 0.30 g0.30\text{ g}0.30 g of hydrogen.
10.35 g10.35\text{ g}10.35 g of lead and 0.90 g0.90\text{ g}0.90 g of water are made.
Calculate the number of moles of each substance to determine the limiting reactant in this reaction.
Explain your choice.
The relative atomic mass of Pb\text{Pb}Pb is 207207207, of O\text{O}O is 161616, and of H\text{H}H is 111.
