The limiting reactant

• .
• is used up first
• is the reactant that is left over
• .

What are the correct steps for determining the limiting reactant?

• divide each reactant by its molar mass and look for the smallest number
• balance the chemical equation and look for the smallest coefficient
• divide the moles of each reactant by its coefficient and look for the smallest number
• divide each reactant by Avogadro's number and look for the smallest number

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

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

True or False?
A chemical reaction stops before the limiting reagent is used up.

• True
• False

• When it wants to
• When both the limiting and excess reactants are gone
• When all the excess reactant has been consumed
• When all the limiting reactant has been consumed
