Consider the five balanced chemical reactions listed below, all using O2 as a reactant. Normally, O2 is an excess reagent for reactions because there is a large amount of it available in the air. For this question, suppose that you have5.73 moles of O2 and1.70 moles of any of the other reactants in every equation. Select those equations below in which O2 would be the limiting reactant.

A. C6H12O6 (s) + 6 O2 (g) → 6 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (g) B. C3H8 (g) + 5 O2 (g) → 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (g) C. H2S (g) + 2 O2 (g) → SO3 (g) + H2O (g) D. 4 NH3 (g) + 5 O2 (g) → 4 NO (g) + 6 H2O (g) E. None because in all the reactions O2 is in excess
