When a reactant is reduced, it gains electrons. Thus, metal cations can be reduced to neutral metal atoms.

What chemists may say that reactants products?

Chemists may refer to the starting substances in a chemical reaction as "reactants" and the final substances formed as a result of the reaction as "products." This distinction helps in understanding the stoichiometry and energy changes involved in the reaction.


Examples of How a limiting reactant controls the amount of product formed in a chemical reaction?

limiting reactant controls the amount of product formed in a chemical reaction because it is found in smaller quantity and consumed earlier .Due to this reason the chemical reaction stops and no additional product is formed


How does the maximum yield of products for a reaction depend on the limiting reactant?

The best way to answer this question is with an example. Using Calcium oxide reacting with hydrochloric acid, the reaction formula is: CaO + 2HCl ----->CaCl2 + H2O The molecular weight for Calcium Oxide is 56, for Hydrochloric acid is 26.5 and for calcium chloride 110. If you start with only 56g of Calcium oxide but say 10000g of hydrochloric acid, the maximum yield of the product calcium chloride can only ever be 110g. It does not matter how much hydrochloric acid is added. The limiting reactant in this example is the calcium oxide.

If you mean the throat infection by angina, in English it is called Strep Thoat.


What is the stress experienced by a chemist?

Chemistry is very complex; some intellectual stress results. Chemists may also have occasion to handle very toxic and/or highly explosive chemicals, which can also be stressful. Research chemists often have to worry about getting research grants, which is the most stressful aspect of chemistry. But in spite of those sources of stress, I would still say that on the whole, chemistry is not an overly stressful occupation, for those who are qualified to practice it.

The Reactant in its natural state is a?

The reactant in its natural state is in its original form before any chemical reaction occurs. It is typically the starting material that undergoes a transformation in a chemical reaction to produce one or more products.


What does it mean to say something is reduced?

To reduce is to make it littler. Ex. 2/4 = 1/2 divided by 2.

Why is it false to say the limiting reactant is the reactant that is present in the smaller amount?

Number one, it doesn't define "smaller amount" (by mass? by volume? by number of moles?), and number two, it doesn't take into account the fact that the reaction might require more molecules of one reagent than the other. It's not so much "false" as "not strictly true." The statement could, in some cases, be true.

What happens to the reaction rate as the reactants get used up in a reaction?

The rate of a reaction begins to decreases as reactant are used up

What does factory variants mean?

Factory variant means that the product is authentic, it's just not perfect. For example, say a nike shoes wasn't stitched perfectly, it is sold at a reduced price.


What is a limited reactant?

With any chemical reaction you have reactants and products, for this question I'll use the example of the formation of water from it's parts, Hydrogen and Oxygen. The equation would look like this: 2H2 (g) + O2 (g) -> 2H2O (l) Let's say you start out with 3 moles of Hydrogen and 1 mole of Oxygen. From the reaction you can see that for every mole of O2 that reacts, 2 moles of H2 are reacted. This means that after your mole oxygen reacts, you are still left with a mole of excess Hydrogen. Thus, Hydrogen is considered the excess reactant, and Oxygen is considered the limited reactant. In short, the limited reactant is whichever reactant you will use up in the reaction first.

What are the substance that are present before the reaction?

Reactants are what are used in an experiment to form a reactant (a product). You could also say ingredients but that is used more in cooking.
