limiting regent is not exactly a compound with lesser moles.It is the compound with lesser moles compared to the original equation for eg nitrogen+3hydrogen=2ammonia in this equation every 1 mole of nitrogen requires 3 mole of hydrogen but if it falls short of three moles it is the limiting reagent as the reaction will go on until hydrogen is fully consumed
