Determine the limiting reactant in a mixture containing 95.7 g of B2O3, 75.7 g of C, and 369 g of Cl2. Calculate the maximum mass (in grams) of boron trichloride, BCl3, that can be produced in the reaction. The limiting reactant is:

Explanation:

First, we have to find the reaction:

The next step is to balance the reaction:

Now, we have to calculate the molar mass for  each compound, so:

With these values, we can calculate the moles of each compound:

Now we can divide by the coefficient of each compound in the balanced equation:

The smallest values are for  , so this is our limiting reagent.

I hope it heps!
