Consider the reaction:2 N2(g) + 5 O2(g) + 2 H2O(g) ? 4 HNO3(g)If a reaction mixture

QUESTION:

Consider the reaction:

\(2 \mathrm{~N}_{2}(g)+5 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g)+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g) \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{HNO}_{3}(g)\)

If a reaction mixture contains 28 g of \(\mathrm{N}_{2}\), 150 g of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\), and 36 g of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\), what is the limiting reactant? (Try to do this problem in your head without any written calculations.)
