Sulfur hexafluoride is synthesized by burning sulfur in fluorine gas. The reaction is described by the equation: S(s)+3F2(g)→SF6(g)\text{S(s)} + 3\text{F}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow \text{SF}_6\text{(g)} 4 moles of sulfur (atoms) are added to 20 moles of fluorine (molecules). Deduce which will be the limiting reactant.
