If 7.83 g of H 2 is reacted with 15.7 g of O 2 in the reaction 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O , what is the limiting reagent?

When you take 7.83 g of H2, you convert to moles by dividing by the molar mass (2.02) and multiply by the number of H2s over H2Os. Then do the same for the O2. the limiting reagent in this case is the Oxygen by what I calculated.
