Answer:

Hydrogen is the limiting reactant.

Step-by-step explanation:

as per the balanced equation

2H2 + O2 =2H2O

A B

moles of H2=2 moles

moles of O2=2moles

short formula to find limiting reactant is;

moles of A / coefficient of A from balanced equation=moles of B / coefficient of B from balanced equation

2 / 2 = 2 / 1

1 = 2

H=1 O=2

hydrogen is the limiting reactant
