Determine which reactant is the limiting reactant, if,
Mass of Sodium Bicarbonate= 2.00g
Mass of Citric Acid = 0.76g
Are my calculations right, or is it wrong?
(2.00g of NaHO3)(1mol/84.01g of NaHO3)(1mol of H3C6H5O7/ 3 mol of NaHO3)(192.14g of H3C6H5O7)= 1.52g of citric acid
Therefore, citric acid is limiting reactant since 0.76 g of citric acid is less than the equivalent amount which is 1.52g.

I agree citric acid is the LR but I worked it another way. You can compare mols and not go through the grams step.
