Determine the limiting reactant of the unbalanced chemical reaction if 2.00 mole of ethane is reacted with unlimited oxygen? #C^2H^6(g)+ O^2(g) --> CO^2(g) + H^2O(l)#
Please help me. I don't know how to find the mole of O2.

In all stoichiometric equations
Explanation:
Do you appreciate what I mean in the given context....?
We know that hydrocarbons and alcohols combust completely, to give carbon dioxide and water. The normal rigmarole in these combustion reactions is to:
And clearly the limiting reactant in the given scenario is ethane. The hydrocarbon is the limiting reactant in most combustion reactions. Sometimes, incomplete combustion occurs under conditions of LIMITED DIOXYGEN, to give SOME
