Problem

The balanced reaction is 2 H2(g)+O2(g)→2 H2O(g)2\,\text{H}_2(g)+\text{O}_2(g)\rightarrow2\,\text{H}_2\text{O}(g). A particulate model shows 6 H2\text{H}_2 molecules and 4 O2\text{O}_2 molecules present before any reaction occurs. Identify the limiting reactant and briefly justify your answer using the stoichiometric ratios.
