Stoichiometry and Limiting Reagents

The video tutorial covers stoichiometry, focusing on limiting and excess reagents in chemical reactions. It begins with balancing chemical equations, using the reaction between lead nitrate and sodium iodide as an example. The tutorial explains how to determine the limiting reagent and calculate the amount of product formed. It also discusses how to find the excess reagent left over. An additional example with antimony and iodine is provided to reinforce the concepts. The video emphasizes the importance of mole conversions and using balanced equations for accurate chemical calculations.
