What statements are always true about limiting reactants? Select one or more: O The limiting reactant is always the same for a given reaction. The limiting reactant has a lower mass than other reactants. The limiting reactant dictates the amount of product. There will be an excess of other reactants at the end of the reaction. The limiting reactant is completely used up in the reaction.
