It depends upon nature of reactant and conditions.
The limiting reagent in a reaction is the reactant that runs out first. For example, if you are reacting 10 moles of HCl and 5 moles of NaOH, you will get 5 moles of H20, 5 moles of NaCl, and 5 moles of HCl, because the remaining HCl had nothing to react with. Therefore, the NaOH is the limiting reagent.
The chemical formula for the reaction of ethanol with Lucas reagent (concentrated HCl and ZnCl2) is C2H5OH + HCl → C2H5Cl + H2O. This reaction converts ethanol into ethyl chloride by substitution of the hydroxyl group with a chlorine atom.

First, its HCl, with a lowercase L, not HCI. The reaction is HCl + NaOH --> H2O + NaCl
To find the limiting reagent in a chemical reaction, you calculate the amount of product that each reactant can produce. The reactant that produces the least amount of product is the limiting reagent. You can then use this information to determine the amount of product that can be formed in the reaction.
the amount of limiting reagent
The limiting reagent in a reaction is the first reactant to be completely converted to products, limiting the amount of product that can be formed.
HCl + NaOH -------> NaCl + H2O
The amount of product you get in a reaction
No, the excess reagent does not determine the amount of product formed in a chemical reaction. The amount of product is determined by the limiting reagent, which is the reactant that is completely consumed first. The excess reagent will remain in excess after the reaction is complete.
Determining the limiting reagent in a reaction is important because it helps identify which reactant will be completely consumed first and thus limits the amount of product that can be formed. This information is crucial for calculating the maximum amount of product that can be obtained from a reaction and for ensuring that resources are used efficiently.
