Limiting Reagent Review

When you use a balanced chemical equation to calculate the amount of a product on paper it is referred to as the 

• experimental value
• theoretical value
• true amount
• percent yield

• 13.04 g
• 130.4 moles
• 130.4 g
• 13.04 moles

What is the measured amount of a product obtained from a chemical reaction?

• mole ratio
• theoretical yield
• percentage yield
• actual yield

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

What is a limiting reactant?

• the reactant that determines how much product can be made
• the reactant that is in excess
• the product that you can make the most of
• the amount of reactants that react with each other
