Sr is the limiting reactant.
In a reaction, the limiting reactant is the reactant that determines the amount of product(s) formed. This is because, when the limiting reactant is exhausted, the reaction immediately comes to a halt.
Given the reaction equation;
2Sr + O2 (g) → 2SrO
2 moles of Sr reacts with 1 mole of O2
2 moles Sr will react with x mole of O2
x = 2 ×1/2
x = 1 mole of O2
Since we have more O2 than required, it is the reactant in excess, hence Sr is the limiting reactant.
