So, if I have 1.1 mols of Cu and .31 mols of AgNO3, then AgNO3 is the limiting reactant then isint it? My friend is trying to tell me other wise. . . . .

Not necessarily. It depends on your reaction and how many mols of each compound that you need.

IF your equation is AgNO3 + Cu= Cu+2 + Ag, then AgNO3 is the limiting reactant, if not repost the equation.

Cu + 2 AgNO3 ~> Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag

1:2 ratio of copper to silver nitrate. The 0.31 moles of AgNO3 will run out long before the 1.1 moles of copper.

Not necessarily....I would need to see the balanced equation for the entire reaction to do a limiting reagent calculation. If you want to email me at john_r820@yahoo.com I can try to help. No promises, but I will try. You have to be careful with these..you can't just inspect it and try to figure out which is limiting....
