Hi, I would like to know How many moles of BaO were Produced? Which substance is limiting reactant?
(The folllowing reaction was carried out using 2 moles of Ba and 2 moles of O2
2Ba + O2 ----------> 2BaO

there are the same numbers of mole with Ba ana BaO in the equations so 2 moles of BaO are produced .
Ba was the limiting reactant, since after reaction 1 mole of O2 is left

Reduce the equation to a single mole of Ba to help see it better
Ba + 1/2 O2 ----> BaO
For every mole of Ba, you only need 1/2 mole of O2
So if you use 2 moles of Ba, you only used up 1 mole of O2
You still have excess O2 left, so that means Ba is limiting
Since Ba is limiting and you used all 2 moles, from the equation, you get 2 moles of BaO

From reading your equation, there were 2 moles of BaO produced.
There was 1 mole of O2 in the equation. If there were 2 moles available, then the Ba was the limiting reagent.

Barium is the limiting reactant, and 2 Moles of BaO are produced.
