LIMITING REACTANT

The limiting reactant

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

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
