Limiting reactant Review

The limiting reactant

• slows the reaction down
• is used up first
• is the reactant that is left over
• controls the speed of the reaction

What is the theoretical yield?

• the maximum amount of product from a reaction
• the amount of product recovered from a lab experiment
• amount of product that causes the reaction to stop
• the amount of product needed to reverse the reaction

Use the equation 2 Al + 3 Cl2 ---> 2 AlCl3.  If 2 moles of aluminum and 2 moles of chlorine are reacted, identify the limiting reactant.

• AlCl3
• Cl2
• Al

When does a chemical reaction stop?

• When the lab is finished
• When the excess reactant is used up
• When the limiting reactant is used up
• Chemical reactions never stop
