Answer

Limiting reagent is NaOH

Work Step by Step

We find the limiting reagent using the calculations below: First 2 moles NaOH -- 1 mol CO$_2$ 1,85 moles NaOH -- x 2x = 1,85 moles CO$_2$ x = 0,925 mol CO$_2$ Second 2 moles NaOH -- 1 mol CO$_2$ x -- 1 mol CO$_2$ x = 2 moles NaOH We conclude that the limiting reactant is NaOH.
