Solution

The correct option is C
$F e_{2} O_{3}$

If you check, the reaction is already balanced 2 moles of $V O$ = 3 moles of $F e_{2} O_{3}$

$2 \times (47.87 + 16) = 3 \times (2 \times 55.85 + 3 \times 16)$

$2 (63.87 g) = 3 \times (159.7 g)$

$127.74 g$ of $V O$ = $478.1 g$ of $F e_{2} O_{3}$

$∴$ $2 g$ of $V O$ = $\frac{2 \times 478.1}{127.74} = 7.50 g$ of $F e_{2} O_{3}$

But only $5.75 g$ of $F e_{2} O_{3}$ is present.

This $F e_{2} O_{3}$ will get used up in the reaction and is the limiting reagent.
