limiting reagent

If chemical reaction has more than one reactant, one reactant {limiting reagent}| depletes first as reaction proceeds. Find limiting reagent from balanced chemical reaction, using the following rule. If first-reactant coefficient to second-reactant coefficient ratio is larger than first-reactant moles to second-reactant moles ratio, second reactant is limiting reagent.
