Methanol, CH3OH, is the simplest of the alcohols. It is synthesized by the reaction of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Write chemical reactions. If 500 mol of CO and 750 mol of H2 are present, which is the limiting reactant?

Answer is in the photo. I couldn't attach it here, but uploaded it to a file hosting. link below! Good Luck!

you need to give more information

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !
