Why is it necessary to determine if a reactant is limiting reagent in a
reaction?
A. Different products will start being formed once the limiting
reagent is gone.
B. The reaction will not happen if one of the reagents is a limiting
reagent.
C. Stoichiometry cannot be used to calculate amounts if there is a
limiting reagent.
D The amount of product formed will be limited by the amounbof the
limiting reagent.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Hi!

Let's say you have 2 different reactants, A and B, and 1 product, C.

2A + 4B -> 3C

Let's say that once we do the calculations, we find that A is the limiting reactant/reagent.

All of the A is used up in the reaction, leaving behind some excess B, and forming C.

Now that there is only B left behind, it has nothing to react with, so it cannot create any more product.

I hope this helps!
