Question

Explain limiting reagent in reaction with the help of suitable examples

Answer 1

Answer:

The limiting reagent (or limiting reactant or limiting agent) in a chemical reaction is the substance that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed. The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it.

Explanation:

example if you had 3 moles of Na and 2 moles of Cl when forming NaCl, the Cl will run out first since you need 1 mole of each to form one mole of NaCl. ... Since the reaction ends when Cl is depleted, it is the limiting reactant.
