Is carbon dioxide a nutrient?
Carbon is an element, but the definition of a nutrient is any substance which can be metabolized by an animal to give energy and build tissue. So YES, carbon can be a nutrient. Carbon in some forms however my not be available for metabolism and may be considered purely an element, such as diamond.

Why is iron is a limiting reactant?
It is unique from reaction to reaction. If it is the more basic question that I think it might be, you always look at the moles of each reactant and what ratio they react. If they react 1:1, then the reactant with less moles will be consumed first, and therefore quenches that particular reaction naturally
