Question

what is limiting reagent explain with an example

Answer 1

The limiting reagent 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.
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 - The reactant in a chemical reaction that remains when a reaction stops when the limiting reactant is completely consumed

Answer 2

Limiting reagent:-It is defined as a substance ,that completely get consumed when the chemical reaction is complete.

And the product formed ,is limited by this reagent ,and reaction is not possible without limiting reagent.

FOR EXAMPLE:-

C+O------>CO
1 mol +1mol------->1 mol
