What is meant by a limiting reactant in a particular reaction? In what way is the reaction “limited”? What does it mean to say that one or more of the reactants are present in excess? What happens to a reaction when the limiting reactant is used up?
Consider the balanced chemical equation :math>A+5B3C+4D en equal masses of A and B are reacted, which is limiting, A or B? Justify your choice. If the molar mass of A is greater than the molar mass of B, then A must be limiting. If the molar mass of A is less than the molar mass of B, then A must be limiting. If the molar mass of A is greater than the molar mass of B, then B must be limiting. If the molar mass of A is less than the molar mass of B, then B must be limiting.
