Remember the equation to figure out limiting agent?

When I took the chemistry class, I barely remember that there are certain equation to figure out which one is limiting agent

I think if we know the equation, it will make speed up little more

Anyone remember?

well...I don't know why we would need to come up with an equation to find out limiting agent when we can just....do it in a normal way.

Even if there is an equation for it, it doesn't change the fact that we need to know molecular weight to find the number of mols and then compare it to the given balanced equation to see which is limiting.

I was never taught an equation. It's simple enough to convert everything to moles and compare stoichiometry. Whatever formula you were taught probably involved exactly that.
