First divide the equation by 3 to find
the number of moles of Li3PO4 required to react with
one mole of Ca(NO3)2
Next, multiply the
equation by 3.4 (we have 3.4 moles of Ca(NO3)2) ,
this gives the theoretical amount of Li3PO4.
Now compare the actual moles of Li3PO4 with the theoretical value.
If the theoretical is less than the actual then
there is sufficient of this reagent.
If the theoretical is greater than the actual
then this is the limiting reagent.
