Answer

Limiting agent = NO Balanced reaction = 2 NO(g) + O2(g) => 2 NO2(g)

Work Step by Step

The resulting product of the reaction is NO2, with excess O2 as the other species in the product representation. As a result, NO acts as the limiting reactant. Initially, the visuals depict 6 NO molecules reacting with 3 O2 molecules to produce 6 NO2 molecules. In its smallest whole number representation, the balanced reaction is condensed to: 2 NO(g) + O2(g) => 2 NO2(g)
