The limiting reactant

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

If a chemist calculates the maximum amount of product that could be obtained in a chemical reaction, he or she is calculating the

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