Exactly what good comes from mocking me? A person comes looking for help and is subject to mockery and sarcasm. Well fuck off, I don't need this. Thanks for nothing.

i dont get it!!! i got the negative numbers by inputting the formula into a equation balancer. what it told me is that the negative number means that value is on the wrong side and the equation actually goes: "acetic anhydride = glucose + glucose pentaacetate" which i have no idea what that means or how do i calculate a limiting reagent from the two chemicals I added together to get glucose pentaacetate?

I did an experiment in which I added 0.2116 mols acetic anhydride to 0.0222 mols glucose to form 0.0178 mols glucose pentaacetate. I am attempting to calculate the limiting reagent, but I can't balance the equation properly! What I get is: 15 C4H6O3 + -2 C6H12O6 = 3 C16H22O11 How am I supposed to calculate a limiting reagent with negative numbers? Thanks!
