The reactants are methane and oxygen.
The products are carbon dioxide and water.
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound. the molecular formula is the actual ratio of components making up the compound.
the empirical formula is CH₂. We can find the mass of CH₂ one empirical unit and have to then find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula.
Mass of one empirical unit - CH₂ - 12 g/mol x 1 + 1 g/mol x 2 = 12 = 14 g
Molar mass of the compound is - 252 .5 g/mol
number of empirical units = molar mass / mass of empirical unit
= 
= 18 units
Therefore molecular formula is - 18 times the empirical formula
molecular formula - CH₂ x 18 = C₁₈H₃₆
molecular formula is C₁₈H₃₆

The theoretical proportion is given by the balanced chemical equation:
2 mol NBr / 3 mol Na OH
Then x mol NaOH / 40 mol NBr3 = 3mol NaOH/2 mol NBr3
Solve for x, x = 40 * 3/2 = 60 mol NaOH.
Given that there are 48 mol NaOH (less than 60) this is the limitant reactant and the other is the excess reactant.
Answer: NBr3..
