This reaction?
2Al + 6HCl -> 2AlCl3 + 3H2
Get moles species.
60.0 grams Al (1 mole Al/26.98 grams) = 2.2239 mole Al
==================================================================================
2.2239 moles Al (6 mole HCl/2 mole Al)
= 6.6717 moles HCl
-------------------------
0.68572 moles HCl (2 mole Al/6 mole HCl)
= 0.22857 mole Al
------------------------
As you see you have way more moles aluminum than you need, but. you do not have nearly enough HCl to meet the mole burden.
Hydrochloric acid limits this reaction.

If 0.25 g of Aluminum react with 0.6g of Copper sulfate then which one is the limiting reactant?
Aluminum would be the limiting reagent
What is the reactant called that gets used up first?
The Limiting Reactant is the reactant that runs out first in a reaction.
What reactant gives the lowest yield by limiting the amount of product?
A reactant that gives the lowest yield by limiting the amount of product is called a limiting reactant. The limiting reactant will run out, so that only a limited amount of product can be made from the reactants.
How limiting reactant control a reaction?
Using an excess of another reactant limits a reactant.
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"

What is the limiting reactant in alka-seltzer?
Sodium bicarbonate is the limiting reactant.
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.
What reactant gives the lowest yield by limiting the amount of product?
A reactant that gives the lowest yield by limiting the amount of product is called a limiting reactant. The limiting reactant will run out, so that only a limited amount of product can be made from the reactants.

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.
How the limiting reactant control the product?
The yield of the reaction depends in this case only on the concentration of the limiting reactant.
How does the law of conservation of mass tell you that reacting zinc with hydrochloric acid can never produce aluminum oxide?
I think because Aluminum Oxide is neither a Chemical Reaction nor a Reactant.
the reactant that is completely used up in a reaction is called a?
Limiting reactant
