What is a limiting reagent?

• any reactant used up first in a reaction.

• any reactant left over at the end of a reaction.

• the maximum amount of product formed from a given amount of reactant.

• the purity of the reactant.

Which reactant is the limiting reagent and why?
2H₂(g) + O₂(g)  → 2H₂O(l)

• Hydrogen is the limiting reagent because two moles of hydrogen is required for every one mole of oxygen to produce two water.

• Oxygen is the limiting reagent because two moles of hydrogen is required for every one mole of oxygen to produce two water.
