Question

Example of limiting reagent and excess reagent

Answer 1

Limiting Reactant - The reactant in a chemical reaction that limits the amount of product that can be formed. The reaction will stop when all of the limiting reactant is consumed. Excess Reactant - Thereactant in a chemical reaction that remains when a reaction stops when the limiting reactant is completely consumed.

Answer 2

Answer:

If there are more than 3 moles of Cl2 gas, some will remain as an excess reagent, and the sodium is a limiting reagent. It limits the amount of the product that can be formed. Chemical reactions with stoichiometric amounts of reactants have no limiting or excess reagents
