N2O4(l) + 2 N2H4(l) → 3 N2(g) + 4 H2O(g)
1) to calculate the limiting reactant you need to pass grams to moles.
moles is calculated by dividing mass by molar mass
mass of N2O4: 50.0 g
molar mass of N2O4 = 92.02 g/mol
molar mass of N2H4 = 32.05 g/mol.
mass of N2H4:45.0 g
moles N2O4=50.0/92.02 g/mol= 0,54 mol of N2O4
moles N2H4= 45/32.05 g/mol= 1,40 mol of N2H4
2)
By looking at the balanced equation, you can see that 1 mol of N2O4 needs 2 moles of N2H4 to fully react . So to react 0,54 moles of N2O4, you need 2x0,54 moles of N2H4 moles
N2H4 needed = 1,08 moles.
You have more that 1,08 moles N2H4, so this means the limiting reagent is not N2H4, it's N2O4. The molecule that has molecules that are left is never the limiting reactant.
3) 1 mol of N2O4 reacting, will produce 3 mol of N2 (look at the equation)
There are 0,54 mol of N2O4 available to react, so how many moles will produce of N2?
1 mol N2O4------------3 mol of N2
0,54 mol N2O4--------x
x=1,62 mol of N2
4) the only thing left to do is convert the moles obtained, to grams.
We use the same formula as before, moles equal to mass divided by molar mass.
[tex]moles= \frac{grams}{molar mass} [/tex] (molar mass of N2= 28)
1,62 mol of N2= mass/ 28
mass of N2= 45,36 grams

The limiting reactant in the reaction has been [tex]\rm N_2H_4[/tex]. The moles of nitrogen formed has been 2.1 mol of nitrogen.
The moles of [tex]\rm N_2O_4[/tex] and [tex]\rm N_2H_4[/tex] formed are:
Moles = [tex]\rm \dfrac{weight}{molecular\;weight}[/tex]
Moles of 50 grams [tex]\rm N_2O_4[/tex] = 0.54 mol
Moles of 45 grams [tex]\rm N_2H_4[/tex] = 1.40 mol.
The limiting reactant has been the one that has been produced in lesser quantity than required in the reaction.
From the balanced chemical equation, 1 moles of [tex]\rm N_2O_4[/tex] reacts with 2 mole of [tex]\rm N_2H_4[/tex].
1 mole [tex]\rm N_2O_4[/tex] = 2 mole [tex]\rm N_2H_4[/tex].
0.54 mol [tex]\rm N_2O_4[/tex] = 1.08 mol [tex]\rm N_2H_4[/tex].
The amount of [tex]\rm N_2H_4[/tex]. present in the reaction has been 1.40 mol. Thus, [tex]\rm N_2H_4[/tex] has been the limiting reactant in the reaction.
The moles of nitrogen produced has been:
2 mole [tex]\rm N_2H_4[/tex]. = 3 mol Nitrogen
1.40 mol [tex]\rm N_2H_4[/tex] = 2.1 mol Nitrogen
