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 complete. The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it.

Explanation:
For a chemical reaction to proceed to completion , the reactants need to be in amounce as required by a balanced chemical equation. When it is not so one reactant is in access over the other.
The amount of the product formed then it depends upon the reactant which gets consumed.
This reactant which gets consumed , limits the amount of the product formed and is called the limiting reagent.
