No. Although increasing the amount of reagent will increase the yield but because everything is equal and constant it will not increase the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield.

What is the definetions of limiting reactant in chemistery?

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"

How the limiting reactant control the product?

The yield of the reaction depends in this case only on the concentration of the limiting reactant.


the reactant that is completely used up in a reaction is called a?

Limiting reactant


After a chemical reaction starts when will a chemical reaction end?

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.


Why is the theoretical yield of a reaction determined only by the amount of the limiting reactant?

Because the limiting reactant It is completely consumed before the other reactant.


When the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction is completely used the?

reaction will stop.


What happens to a chemical reaction when the limiting reactant is completely used up?

Limiting reactant is the one that limits the rate of the reaction. It is always supplied in adequate amount so that there is enough for the reaction to carry out to obtain the desired products. under ideal cases, When the reaction reaches completion there will be no limiting reactant.
