Limiting Reagent
6. Chemical Reactions & Quantities / Limiting Reagent / Problem 1

The high-energy fuel 1,1-dimethylhydrazine reacts spontaneously with oxygen to give gaseous products according to the following reaction:
N2H2(CH3)2 (l) + O2 (g) → CO(g) + H2O (g) + N2 (g)    (unbalanced)
If 50.0 kg of this fuel is reacted with the same mass of oxygen, which of the two reactants will serve as the limiting reagent?
