Question

C6​H12​O6​ O + 6O2​  →→ 6CO2​ + 6H2​O  + Energy 
Determine the limiting reactant and how much of that limiting reactant you would need in order to use up all of the non-limiting reactant. Assume you have 25 grams of glucose and 40 grams of oxygen as reactants for the following photosynthesis reaction:

A) Glucose is the limiting reactant; You would need .1388 moles of glucose to use up all of the Oxygen (non-limiting reactant). 
 
B
Glucose is the limiting reactant; You would need .208 moles of glucose to use up all of the Oxygen (non-limiting reactant). 
 
C
Oxygen is the limiting reactant; You would need 1.25 moles of Oxygen to use up all of the glucose (non-limiting reactant). 
 
D
Oxygen is the limiting reactant; You would need .8328 moles of Oxygen to use up all of the glucose (non-limiting reactant).
