Unit 10 Practice: Limiting Reactant

How do you check which reactant is limiting?

• use mole ratios to identify which reactant can create less product

• subtract the same amount from each one

Once we identify which reactant is limiting, what do we do next?

• We use the limiting reactant to calculate the amounts of other substances consumed and produced.

• We remove the limiting reactant from the equation because it was used up.

• We calculate how many grams of limiting reactant we have.

The limiting reactant

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