The limiting reactant is that reactant in a chemical reaction that will be used up first. Put another way, it is the reactant that is in the smallest supply. The way it controls the amount of product formed is that once it is used up, no more product can be formed, so the amount of product formed ultimately depends on the amount of the limiting reactant.
The term "limiting" is used because the limiting reactant limits the amount of product produced.
a product
Chemical: Vinegar contains the chemical, Acetic acid. Reactant: The limiting reactant weight was used to calculate the percentage yield of the product. Product: The product was nearly pure from just washing alone, following the reaction.
The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation shows how many moles of each reactant is needed in order for a reaction to take place. After determining how many moles of each reactant is required, you would convert it to grams to calculate how much of each reactant is needed to form a given amount of product in a chemical reaction.

In a chemical reaction the limiting reactant is the reactant that there is the least of in the reaction; it determines the amount of product formed. In a chemical reaction it is the reactant that gets completely "used up"
because the limiting reactant is not in excess so it's all used up . as the limiting reactant is used up the reaction stops so no more product can be made.
When the limiting reactant is completely used up. A limiting reactant is the reactant that determines the amount of product. To determine this use the balanced chemical reaction with the masses of the reactants to determine the moles of product formed. The reactant that forms the least amount of product will be the limiting reactant.
The coefficients give the ratio of moles reactant to moles product.
Stoichiometry relates moles of reactant to moles of product, so if you have the amount of reactant in the equation, you can calculate the amount of product produced.
The amount of product is determined by the limiting reactant. Once one reactant is used completely, no more product can be produced.
The term "limiting" is used because the limiting reactant limits the amount of product produced.
Limiting reactants are the reactants that are used up first. And once they are used up, they stop, or limit, the reaction. So the amount of product that can be produced depends on the limiting reactant. The other reactant, the one in excess, would predict a larger amount of product. But once we produce the amount of product predicted by the limiting reactant. The limiting reactant is used up and the reaction stops.
a product
Yes. If Concentration of a reactant has decreased, that means that that concentration was used in the formation of a product.
the material is used up
