Limiting reagent

The limiting reagent (or limiting reactant or limiting agent) in a chemical reaction is a reactant that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed. The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it. If one or more other reagents are present in excess of the quantities required to react with the limiting reagent, they are described as excess reagents or excess reactants (sometimes abbreviated as "xs"). The limiting reagent must be identified in order to calculate the percentage yield of a reaction since the theoretical yield is defined as the amount of product obtained when the limiting reagent reacts completely. Given the balanced chemical equation, which describes the reaction, there are several equivalent ways to identify the limiting reagent and evaluate the excess quantities of other reagents.

A Level Chemistry Revision "Limiting Reagent"

In this video, we look at the important idea of the limiting reagent. This is important as the amount in moles of limiting reagent determines the maximum amount of product we can make. I explain to you how to determine the limiting reagent with a straightforward example. I show you how to

Practice Problem: Limiting Reagent and Percent Yield

Once we get the hang of stoichiometric calculations, we get a curve ball. Limiting reagents? Not all of the reactants will react? We might not get as much product as we expect? Let's practice identifying the limiting reagent, calculating theoretical yield, and percent yield. Try all of th
