In many chemical reactions, there are two reactants. In nearly every case, one of those two reactants "runs out" first, and at that point, the chemical reaction stops, because in order for it to happen, both reactants must be present to react with each other. As soon as the one reactant runs out, the reaction is over, and you have product(s) and one left over reactant. The reactant that runs out first is the limiting reactant. The leftovers are the excess reactant.

∙ 13y agothey said, limiting agent is with lower moleculare weight. I disagree with that, having chemical reaction that have (l)+(l)-->(s)+(l). The solid should be the limiting reactant; for this Q.

Why did America invade Vietnam?
Mostly to destroy vegetation that was used by the enemy to hide their movements. Same purpose agent orange was later used for, but agent orange was supposed to be more selective, limiting collateral damage.

Limiting factor
Why is the term limiting used to describe the limiting reactant?
The term "limiting" is used because the limiting reactant limits the amount of product produced.
How many moles of AlCl3 are produced when 3.64 moles of HCl reacts?
Step 1. Find limiting agent (g of H2 / amu) and (g of Cl2 / amu) Cl2 is less mole so it is limiting Step 2. Find the ratio (1:2) 1H + 1Cl = 2 HCl Step 3 mole of limiting x ratio (2) x amu of HCl Source Mastering Chemistry
