The volume of N₂ at STP=56 L
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
2.5 moles of N₂
Required
The volume of the gas
Solution
Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP, the volume per mole of gas or the molar volume-Vm is 22.4 liters/mol.
So for 2.5 moles gas :

Note that it says oxygen "gas"
So you need the atomic mass of oxygen gas
Look at your periodic table, you'll see 15.9994 under oxygen
Oxygen gas has a formula of O2 therefore,
(15.9994) times 2= Oxygen gas atomic mass=31.9988
Mol= Mass/Atomic Mass
=62.3 g/ 31.9988 g/mol = 1.95 mol
now look at the ratio of C2H6 and O2, notice there is an invisible number beside each of them, at that "invisible number" is =1
1 C2H6 + 1 O2 -> products
this means that for 1 mol of C2H6, 1 mol of O2 has to react with it
Thus as we have 1.95 moles of O2, we need 1.95 moles of C2H6
Answer : The limiting reagent is 
Solution : Given,
Moles of methane = 2.8 moles
Moles of
= 5 moles
Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.
The balanced chemical reaction is,

From the balanced reaction we conclude that
As, 2 mole of
react with 1 mole of 
So, 5 moles of
react with
moles of 
From this we conclude that,
is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and
is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.
Hence, the limiting reagent is 
they are both types of measurements
