Answer #1

Molar mass of NaHCO3 = 23 + 1 + 12 + 48 = 84 g/mol

Moles = 1/84 = 0.0119 mol

Molar mass of H3C6H5O7 = 192

Moles = 1/192 = 0.0052

To find limiting reagent, moles are divided by coefficient

0.0119 /3 = 0.00396

0.0052/1 = 0.0052

As 0.00396 < 0.0052

So, NaHCO3 is limiting reagent

Do rate if you understand
