@Gogeta Hlo You see You need 1 Mole of N2 for it to react with 3 moles of H2. 1 mole at stp is 22.4L Therefore 1 mole of N2, that is 22.4L of N2 reacts with 67.2 Litres of H2. However since he has given only 2L of N2 Then 22.4 L of N2 needs 67.2L of H2 2L of N2 ---------------- ? 2*67.2/22.4 which gives 6 Litres of H2. however H2 is only 2L here and is present at a small amt, so it will get used up quickly leaving some Nitrogen behind thus becoming the limiting reagent.

1 mole of nitrogen needs 3 moles of hydrogen to react completely. So x moles of nitrogen will need 3x moles of hydrogen to react completely In the same way 2 moles of nitrogen would need 6 moles (3*2) of hydrogen to react completely . As only 2 moles of hydrogen are present so it's the limiting reagent, you can also divide the available moles by the stoichiometric coefficients and compare the values, the smaller value is the limiting reagent
