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

P₄ + 6Cl₂ --> 4PCl₃ 
The reaction of 75.0g P₄ with excess chlorine gas produces 110g PCl₃ in lab. Find the theoretical yield and calculate percent yield for the reaction.

The limiting reactant

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