I solve these limiting reagent problems by solving two simple stoichiometry problems, the first time with one reagent, the second time with the other reagent. The one providing the SMALLEST number of moles for the product will be the value to choose AND it is the limiting reagent. Here is a site that will show you in detail how to solve for each reagent.
