Answer:

To determine which reactant is the limiting reagent, we need to compare the amount of each reactant to the balanced chemical equation for the reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iron oxide (Fe2O3) and carbon monoxide (CO) is:

Fe2O3 + 3CO = 2Fe + 3CO2
