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

adarsh987: thanks yll
Dharmendra2120: ur welcome dear
Dharmendra2120: sorry :✌

Limiting reagent is the reacting species which is totally consumed when the reaction is completed.
The amount of product formed depends on limiting reagent as the reaction would cease once the limiting reagent is completely used up.
For example, let us suppose that in the reaction 2H2+ O2―> 2H2O , Hydrogen is the limiting reagent so, when the given amount of hydrogen in the reaction is completely consumed the formation of H2O would cease as no more H2will be available to combine with O2.
