assuming you are talking about the synthesis of ammonia (NH3)

N2 + 3 H2 --> 2 NH3

150.0 g / 28g/mole = 5.357 moles of nitrogen

32.1 g / 2.0g/mole = 16.05 mole of H2

5.357 moles N2 x 2 mol NH3 / 1 mol N2 = 10.714 mole ammonia (theoretical)

16.05 moles H2 x 2 mol NH3 / 3 mol H2 = 10.7 mole ammonia (theoretical)

Almost the same, but 10.7 is slightly smaller.

The smallest theoretical was found using hydrogen so hydrogen is the limiting reactant.

What is the limiting reagent in a reaction?

The limiting reagent in a reaction is the reactant that runs out first. For example, if you are reacting 10 moles of HCl and 5 moles of NaOH, you will get 5 moles of H20, 5 moles of NaCl, and 5 moles of HCl, because the remaining HCl had nothing to react with. Therefore, the NaOH is the limiting reagent.
