    We know that the reactant ratios

    a : b : c

    are

    3 : 1 : 2

    So we will check the amount of the other two reactants required by taking one as the base.

    With a as the base,

    2.3 : 0.77 : 1.53

    The amounts of b and c required for 2.3 moles of a are present

    With b as the base,

    4.8 : 1.6 : 3.2

    Both a and c are present in amounts less than that required for 1.6 moles of b.

    With c as the base,

    4.65 : 1.55 : 3.1

    Only a is limiting in this case

    From the above considerations, we see that a is always in quantities less than that which would be required, so a is the limiting reactant.
