If I have 186 moles of Hydrogen and 86 moles of Oxygen, how many moles of water can I make?
I forgot how to set up this equation. I have the reactants, but I need to find how much product I can make.

Explanation:
Let's write a balanced stoichometric equation:
We need to know what is the limiting reagent, so we must compare molar ratios:
Since more than that amount H_2 is available it is in excess, we will use O_2 which is the limiting reagent to determine how much water we can make
