Consider a reaction in which two reactants make one product (for example, consider the unbalanced equation A + B = C). You know the following:
2.0 moles of A (with an excess of B) can make a maxiumum of 2.0 moles of C
3.0 moles of B (with an excess of A) can make a maxiumum of 4.0 moles C
If you reaction 2.0 moles of A and 3.0 moles of B, what is the maximum amount of C that can be produced?
