A reagent is a chemical substance that reacts with some other substance. It is common to add a specific reagent to an unknown substance to determine whether or not the substance that the particular reagent reacts to is present. (For example, add a reagent for sugar to test for the presence of sugar.)

What is the opposite of a limiting reagent?

The opposite of a limiting reagent is an excess reagent. While a limiting reagent is the reactant that is completely consumed first in a chemical reaction, thereby determining the maximum amount of product that can be formed, the excess reagent is present in a greater quantity than needed to fully react with the limiting reagent. As a result, some of the excess reagent remains unreacted after the reaction is complete.
