In AgNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq)→AgCl(s)+NaNO3(aq), which classification is supported by both the reactant pattern and the product states?
- A
Single displacement, because sodium replaces silver in a metal element.
- B
Synthesis, because two dissolved compounds form one product.
- C
Double displacement that forms a precipitate.
- D
Combustion, because the reaction produces a solid.
For 2H2+O2→2H2O, a mixture contains 7.0 mol H2 and 3.0 mol O2. Which reactant is limiting?

H2 is limiting because there are more moles of it.
- C
Neither reactant is limiting because both are present in moles.
- D
O2 is limiting because 3.0 mol requires only 6.0 mol H2, less than the 7.0 mol available.
