    Law of Definite Proportions states that a compound is composed of the same ratio of elements present. The formation of water has a reaction:

    H2 + 1/2 O2 = H2O

    The limiting reactant would be the element with the least ratio of molar mass to stoichiometric coefficient, and that would be H2, not O2.
