To determine the limiting reactant, we need to compare the mole ratio of the reactants with the stoichiometric ratio in the balanced chemical equation.The balanced chemical equation is:
From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of
reacts with 3 moles of
to produce 1 mole of
.Given that we have 12 moles of
and 15 moles of
, we can calculate the required moles of
for 12 moles of
to react completely:Required moles of
= 12 moles of
moles of
Since we only have 15 moles of
, which is less than the required 36 moles,
is the limiting reactant.Therefore, the correct answer is:
