Answer:
If more than 6 moles of O2 are available per mole of C6H12O6, the oxygen is in excess and glucose is the limiting reactant. If less than 6 moles of oxygen are available per mole of glucose, oxygen is the limiting reactant. The ratio is 6 mole oxygen per 1 mole glucose, OR 1 mole oxygen per 1/6 mole glucose.

Answer:
It is a chemical element or substance that limits the amount of product made during a chemical reaction
Limiting Reactant Example. Given 1 mol of hydrogen and 1 mol of oxygen in the reaction: 2 H 2 + O 2 → 2 H 2 O. The limiting reactant would be hydrogen because the reaction uses up hydrogen twice as fast as oxygen.
