is there an easy way to find the limiting reagent ?

Example: (too lazy to think of a limiting reagent dimensional analysis example )
36 g of H2O is how many moles of H2O?
36 g H2O * (1 mol H2O/18 g H2O) = 2 mol H2O
The benefit of this is that you can really tell if you're lining up your units correctly.
