Liquid vitamin C, (ascorbic acid) C6H8O6 , readily reacts with atmospheric oxygen, O2, to form liquid dehydroascorbic acid, C6H6O6 and water.
molar mass of vitamin C is many times of oxygen and the consumption of vitamin C is twice than that of oxygen as stochiometric coefficient of vitamin C is twice than that of oxygen
so oxygen is sufficient here and the limiting reagent is vitamin C
