In a balanced chemical equation, is it true that if both reactants have an equal mass that there will be no limiting reactant? True or False and explain why

This is not true

Explanation:

The limiting reactant is described as the reactant in short supply. This indicates that a limiting reactant does not depend on the amount of the reactant given.

The extent to which it is used up in the reaction determines whether a reactant is limiting or not.

For example;

              2H₂    +    O₂       →          2H₂O

The equation above is balanced.

Lets say 20mole of H₂ reacted with 20mole of O₂

 According to the statement in the problem, since the equation is balanced and we have equal number of reactants, then there is no limiting reactant.

This is false

      2 mole of H₂   reacted with 1 mole of O₂

       20 mole of H₂ will require         moles of O₂ = 10 mole of O₂

But we were given 20 moles of O₂. We see that O₂ is in excess and H₂ is the limiting reactant.

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
