C12H24O2 +17 O2-------->12CO2 + 12H2O
<h3>
Combustion:-</h3>
combustion is a chemical reaction that often involves the presence of oxygen and produces heat and light in the form of flames.
<h3>
Lauric acid:-</h3>
Lauric acid has a 12-carbon backbone and is a saturated medium-chain fatty acid. In addition to being a key component of coconut oil and palm kernel oil, lauric acid occurs naturally in a variety of plant and animal fats and oils.
White solid lauric acid has a little bay oil odour to it.
Lauric acid is a cheap, non-toxic, and easy-to-handle substance that is frequently employed in lab studies on melting-point depression. Because lauric acid is a solid at ambient temperature but a liquid at boiling temperatures, it can be used to test different solutes to determine their molecular weights.

Since you have not included the chemical reaction I will explain you in detail.
1) To determine the limiting agent you need two things:
- the balanced chemical equation
- the amount of every reactant involved as per the chemical equation
2) The work is:
- state the mole ratios of all the reactants: these are the ratios of the coefficientes of the reactans in the balanced chemical equation.
- determine the number of moles of each reactant with this formula:
number of moles = (mass in grams) / (molar mass)
- set the proportion with the two ratios (theoretical moles and actual moles)
- compare which reactant is below than the stated by the theoretical ratio.
3) Example: determine the limiting agent in this reaction if there are 100 grams of each reactant:
i) Chemical equation: H₂ + O₂ → H₂O
ii) Balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
iii) Theoretical mole ration of the reactants: 2 moles H₂ : 1 mol O₂
iv) Covert 100 g of H₂ into number of moles
n = 100g / 2g/mol = 50 mol of H₂
v) Convert 100 g of O₂ to moles:
n = 100 g / 32 g/mol = 3.125 mol
vi) Actual ratio: 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂
vii) Compare the two ratios:
2 mol H₂ / 1 mol O ₂ < 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂
Conclusion: the actual ratio of H₂ to O₂ is greater than the theoretical ratio, meaning that the H₂ is in excess respect to the O₂. And that means that O₂ will be consumed completely while some H₂ will remain without react.
Therefore, the O₂ is the limiting reactant in this example.
Continental plates are much thicker that Oceanic plates. At the convergent boundaries the continental plates are pushed upward and gain thickness. The rocks and geological layers are much older on continental plates than in the oceanic plates. The Continental plates are much less dense than the Oceanic plates.
