Limiting Reactants

This is what you call a reactant that you have enough of. The one that DOES NOT run out.

• Limiting Reactant

• Excess Reactant

• Highly Reactant

• Super Reactant

A limiting reactant is a reactant that.....

• runs out during a chemical reaction

• causes a reaction to stop

• determines the amount of products that can be made

• all of these

Using the following equation:

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3H₂(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3H₂O(l)

How many moles of iron can be made from 6 moles H₂ and excess Fe₂O₃?

• 4 moles Fe

• 6 moles Fe

• 9 moles Fe

• 2 moles Fe

The limiting reactant

• slows the reaction down
• is used up first
• is the reactant that is left over
• controls the speed of the reaction

Use the equation 2 Al + 3 Cl₂ ---> 2 AlCl₃.  If 2 moles of aluminum and 2 moles of chlorine are reacted, identify the limiting reactant.

• AlCl3
• Cl2
• Al
