The limiting reactant in a reaction a. is the reactant for which there is the least amount in grams b. is the reactant which has the lowest coefficient in a balanced equation c. is the reactant for which there is the most amount in grams d. is the reactant for which there is the fewest number of moles e. none of the above

Actually the correct answer must be:

The limiting reactant in the reaction is the one which has the lowest ratio of moles available over coefficient in the balanced equation

This is because the actual mass or number of moles of the reactant does not directly dictate if it is a limiting reactant, this must be relative to the other reactants.

So the answer is:

e. none of the above

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
