Limiting Reagent Calculator — Fe + O₂
Find the limiting reagent in Fe + O₂ (coefficients 4:3) from the moles of each reactant. The smaller mole-to-coefficient ratio limits the reaction.
- 1Divide moles by coefficient for each reactant
Fe: 0.2500 | O₂: 1.000 - 2Smaller ratio is limiting

About Limiting Reagent Calculator — Fe + O₂
Find the limiting reagent in Fe + O₂ (coefficients 4:3) from the moles of each reactant. The smaller mole-to-coefficient ratio limits the reaction. The calculation uses compare (moles ÷ coefficient). Why accuracy here pays off: Molar mass, limiting reagent and yield are the backbone of quantitative chemistry. A miscounted subscript or the wrong limiting reactant throws off every downstream amount. Reaction Fe + O₂: stoichiometric coefficients Fe=4, O₂=3. Mistakes that trip people up: mixing up actual and theoretical yield; miscounting atoms inside parentheses or hydrates; assuming the reactant you have less of (by mass) is limiting. No account, no upload, no tracking of your inputs — the result is generated on your machine, which makes it reproducible, private and citable in published work.
