In a particular reaction, one of the reactants limits the number of products formed. That is called as _______(a) Limiting reagent(b) Limiting product(c) Excessive reagent(d) Excessive reactantThe question was asked in a national level competition.I'd like to ask this question from Stoichiometry and Stoichiometric Calculations topic in chapter Chemistry Basic Concepts of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Right answer is (a) Limiting reagent

Explanation: THOUGH the other substances are excess in AMOUNT than the required, each and every reactant needs to be in a fixed ratio to ATTAIN the desired product. So, thereby, the reactant that limits the QUANTITY of the product formed is called limiting reagent and this reactant GETS consumed first completely.
