**Question:**

3) What is the limiting reagent in this reaction?

### Explanation:

- **Meso-Stilbene Dibromide** is used with a molecular equivalent of 1.0 and is provided in the amount of 400 mg.
- **Potassium Hydroxide** has a molecular equivalent of 5.75.
- **Triethylene Glycol** is used as a solvent or reagent at 2 mL.

The table helps in understanding the amounts and equivalents of chemicals used in the reaction to identify the limiting reagent. The limiting reagent is the one that is completely used up first, limiting the extent of the reaction and the amount of product formed.
