Chemistry ACP Limiting Reactants

The limiting reactant

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

Use the equation 2 Al + 3 Cl₂ ---> 2 AlCl₃.  If 2 moles of aluminum and 2 moles of chlorine are reacted, identify the limiting reactant.

• AlCl3
• Cl2
• Al

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
