For equation A + 3B + 2C - - - > 2D, 1 mole of A will produce 2 moles of D 3 moles of B will produce 2 moles of D, so 1 mole of B will produce 2/3 moles of D 2 moles of C will produce 2 moles of D, so 1 mole of C will produce 1 mole of D If only 1 mole of B is present, only 2/3 moles of D can be produced. This is regardless of the number of moles of A and C. B is the limiting reactant and the maximum number of moles of D expected is 2/3.
