For the reaction shown, find the limiting reactant for each of the following initial amounts of reactants.

4Al(s) + 3O2(g) -> 2Al2O3(s)

4mol Al, 2.6mol O2?
a) 4mol Al,
b) 2.6mol O2.

I seriously have no idea what they are asking! What do you do with the 4mol Al & 2.6mol O2...to the equation given?!! Do you just multiply something?
