Generation

A limiting reagent is the reactant that is completely consumed first in a chemical reaction, thereby limiting the amount of product that can be formed. Once the limiting reagent is used up, the reaction stops, even if other reactants remain. To identify the limiting reagent, calculate the moles of each reactant divided by its stoichiometric coefficient from the balanced equation—the reactant with the smallest ratio is limiting. The key formula is: **moles of reactant / stoichiometric coefficient** (compare for all reactants; smallest value indicates the limiting reagent).
