Identifying a Limiting Reactant
When it comes to identifying the limiting reactant, there is the option to simply convert each reactant into moles of product, and whichever one produces the least amount is the limiting reactant, correct? I want to make sure this is okay, because the other option of using molar ratios is a little more confusing to me.

Yes, this may be more tedious at times, but it is the reliable way.

Hello! Yes, calculating the reactants is a valid way to find the limiting reagents.

Yes, this is how you would do it! But still use the molar ratio when converting to moles of each product.
