<span>For equation A + 3B + 2C ---> 2D,
1 mole of A will produce 2 moles of D
3 moles of B will produce 2 moles of D, so 1 mole of B will produce 2/3 moles of D
2 moles of C will produce 2 moles of D, so 1 mole of C will produce 1 mole of D
If only 1 mole of B is present, only 2/3 moles of D can be produced. This is regardless of the number of moles of A and C. B is the limiting reactant and the maximum number of moles of D expected is 2/3.</span>
They are the basic components of life or the basic building blocks of life
