The reactant which is present in lesser amount is called limiting reagent Limiting reagent limits the participation of other reactant which is in excess in the reaction. Example:50 kg N2 and 10kg H2 are mixed to produce NH3.Find the limiting reagent in the production of ammonia N2 + 3H2 → 2 NH3 convert the amount to moles Moles of N2 = 50000g/28g mol-1 = 1785 mol Moles of H2 = 10000g/2.016 = 4960 mol According to the equation 1 mole of N2 reacts with 3 moles of H2 Hence 1785 mole of N2 will react with 3 X 1785 mol = 5355 moles Here we have 4960 moles of hydrogen. hydrogen present in the lesser amount. hence hydrogen is the limiting reagent.
