Thermodynamics II
A limiting reactant is the substance in a chemical reaction that is completely consumed when the reaction goes to completion, thus determining the maximum amount of product that can be formed. It plays a crucial role in stoichiometry as it directly affects the yield of the reaction. Identifying the limiting reactant allows chemists to calculate how much product can be produced and how much of the other reactants will remain unreacted.
congrats on reading the definition of Limiting Reactant. now let's actually learn it.
