If the oxygen in the air reacts with iron metal in a nail to produce iron (III) oxide, the limiting reactant would be iron.

What are limiting reactants?

They are reactants that are limited in supply in reactions and thus, determine the total amount of products that would be formed.

Oxygen is abundant in the air, unlike iron in nails.

Thus, there is an unlimited amount of oxygen that can react with iron. However, the amount of iron in nails, which is limited, will determine the total amount of rust that would be formed.
