Limiting Reagents Limiting reagent (limiting reactant) – the reactant in a chemical reaction that

Limiting Reagents Limiting reagent (limiting reactant) – the reactant in a chemical reaction that limits the amount of product can be formed. The reaction stops when all of the limiting reagent is consumed (used up). Excess reagent (excess reactant) – the reactant that is not completely used up in a chemical reaction.

Limiting Reagents example 1: iron reacts with water as follows: Fe + H 2

Limiting Reagents example 1: iron reacts with water as follows: Fe + H 2 O Fe 3 O 4 + H 2 If 9. 5 moles of water react with 1. 65 moles of iron, what is the limiting reagent?
