It is not mandatory.
is the reactant which will be used up in the reaction, before the other reactant(s)
The reactants exist before a reaction begins, and also the products are the result of the reaction of the reactants.
This is the number before a chemical compound.
The coefficient (not a subscript or superscript) placed immediately before the formula of the reactant in the equation shows how many moles of a reactant are involved in the reaction. If there is no explicit coefficient, a value of 1 for the coefficient is assumed. The coefficient in front of the molecule tells its relative number of moles.

The theoretical yield of a reaction is determined by the limiting reactant because this reactant is completely consumed in the reaction, and the amount of product that can be formed is limited by the amount of the limiting reactant available. Any excess of the other reactant does not contribute to the formation of additional product beyond what is possible with the limiting reactant.

In a chemical reaction the limitting reactant is also know as limiting reagent.it is the substance which is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is complete.the reacton can not proceed without it.
It is unique from reaction to reaction. If it is the more basic question that I think it might be, you always look at the moles of each reactant and what ratio they react. If they react 1:1, then the reactant with less moles will be consumed first, and therefore quenches that particular reaction naturally
Aluminium (Al) + Oxygen (O) = Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3)Aluminium Atomic weight = about 27Oxygen Atomic weight = about) 16Proportion in Al203 = Aluminium 54, Oxygen 48Thus the ratio of weight in Al2O3 is 54/48 = 1.125And the ratio present as reactants is 5.433/8.834 = 0.615Thus the Aluminium will run out before the Oxygen as the reaction proceeds, making the Aluminium the limiting reactant.
There is no limiting reactant in that equation, it's balanced. Four hydrogens on the left, 4 on the right, 2 oxygens on the left, 2 oxygens on the right. If it was 3H2 then it would be oxygen.
Write down the Balanced reaction equation. Zn +2HCl = ZnCl2 + H2 The Molar ratios are 1:2::1:1 So one mole of Zinc requires two moles of Hydrochloric Acid for complete reaction, where both reactants are completely used. So for example if you had only 0.5 moles zinc and two moles of HCl, then zinc would be the limiting reactant , because all the zinc will be used up leaving 1 mole of HCl unreacted . The molar ratios are not equal 0.5 : 2 :: 0.5 : 0.5 (Leaving 2 - 1 = 1 mole HCl ) Conversely if you had 1 mole zinc and only one mole of HCl, then HCl would be the limiting reactant, because all the HCl would be used up leaving o.5 (Half) a mole of zinc unreacted. Similarly 1:1:: 0.5 : 0.5 leaving (1 - 0.5 = 0.5 mole zinc) It all requires the moles to be in the correct ratios.
To determine the limiting reagent, calculate the moles of each reactant: 150.0g nitrogen is 5.36 moles and 32.1g hydrogen is 31.8 moles. Using the balanced chemical equation, you can see that nitrogen is the limiting reagent because it will be completely consumed before all the hydrogen is reacted.
Yes, B is the limiting reactant because for every one mole of A reacting with two moles of B, the ideal ratio is 1:2. Since you have more moles of B available (8g is more than 5g), the reaction will consume all 5g of A before it can use up all 8g of B.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between CH4 and O2 is as follows: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O By comparing the moles of CH4 and O2 given, you can see that O2 is the limiting reactant because it will be completely consumed before all of the CH4 can react.
