First, balance the given reaction.
3H2O+2Fe → 3H2+Fe2O3
∴ 3 mol of H2O require 2 mol of Fe
The ratio of moles of water to iron is 32. If the actual ratio is lower than this, that means that there is a lower amount of water, making iron the excess reagent. If this is higher than 1.5, then water is the excess reagent. Let's calculate!
Moles of water = 18 g36 g/mol=0.5mol
Moles of iron = 2 g56 g/mol=0.036mol
Ratio - 0.50.036=13.88
The ratio is much higher than 1.5, making water the excess reagent.
