<span>C4H10 + 6.5 O2 ----> 4CO2 + 5H2O
2C4H10 + 13 O2 ----> 8CO2 + 10H2O
1. Count the C on the left (4), put a 4 where the C on the right.
2. Count the H on the left (1), you have two on the right, so you multimply this two by 5. Put the 5 in front of the H2O
3. Count the O on the right. You have 4*2 + 5 = 13. You have two on the left, so you need 6.5 on the left.
4. Now multiply everything on the equation by two so you have nice integer numbers.
5. check you have the same amount of everything on each side.
Example C: left 8, right 8, etc.
I hope this helps. :)</span><span>

I'm assuming that you are asking a general question because you did not include an example.
The limiting reagent is the item in the reactants (reagents) that will run out first. This is because it limits what the reaction can produce, essentially causing the leftover elements/compounds to just sit there.
Answer: Observation is essential in science. Scientists use observation to collect and record data, which enables them to construct and then test theories
