It is a section of chemistry that involves using relationships between reactants and/or products in a chemical reaction to determine desired quantitative data.
Stoichiometry
What is one way of finding the limiting reagant?
By calculating the amount of product that can be formed by each reactant
It is a reagent that is completely used up or reacted.
Limiting reactant
Which product in a reaction is the limiting reagent?
The one that produces less product is the limiting reagent
It is a reactant that is not used up when the reaction is finished.
Excess reactant
Find the limiting reagent by looking at the number of _______ of each reactant.
moles
Chemical reaction equations give the ideal stoichiometric relationship among ______ and ______.
reactants, products
What is the first step that needs to be completed in order to find the limiting reagent in a chemical reaction?
Balance the equation.
