Which reactant is the limiting reagent and why?

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l)

• Hydrogen is the limiting reagent because two moles of hydrogen is required for every one mole of oxygen to produce two water.

• Oxygen is the limiting reagent because two moles of hydrogen is required for every one mole of oxygen to produce two water.
