If I have a net ionic equation of Cu(s) + 2NO3- -> Cu2+(aq) + 2NO2 (g) + 2H2O(l)To find the limiting reagent from that I would take the molecular weight of NO3- not the original HNO3 that the ion came from correct? Because I need to relate moles of Cu(s) to moles of HNO3 (aq). The HNO3 is fairly straight forward because you use 25ml of 6.0M HNO3 so its straight forward multiplication there but I am not sure how to get from moles of HNO3 to NO3- except for that they must be the same? I mean its 1 H for 1 NO3- right? Just looking for a little direction here.

Question

If I have a net ionic equation of

Cu_(s) + 2NO₃^- -> Cu²⁺_(aq) + 2NO_{2 (g)} + 2H₂O_(l)

To find the limiting reagent from that I would take the molecular weight of NO₃^- not the original HNO₃ that the ion came from correct? Because I need to relate moles of Cu_(s) to moles of HNO_{3 (aq)}. The HNO₃ is fairly straight forward because you use 25ml of 6.0M HNO₃ so its straight forward multiplication there but I am not sure how to get from moles of HNO₃ to NO₃^- except for that they must be the same? I mean its 1 H for 1 NO₃^- right?

Just looking for a little direction here.
