Limiting Reagents
In what situations would you need to calculate the limiting reagent of a chemical reaction?

Re: Limiting Reagents
If you have 2 or more reactants and their ratio is not equal to the ratio of the stoichiometric coefficients.

Re: Limiting Reagents
If you ever are given two reactants that form a product and the answer to the question is dependent on how much the reaction proceeds, you should calculate the limiting reagent.
Re: Limiting Reagents
If the chemical reaction depends on the yield of product, or you are given a certain amount of reactants to work with.

Re: Limiting Reagents
when you are given two or more reactants, it's a safe bet to calculate the limiting reagent
