Question

The __________ determines the quantity that can be produced by the reaction.

A) ideal reactant
B) excess reactant
C) limiting reactant
D) stoichiometric reactant

Answer 1

Question:

The __________ determines the quantity that can be produced by the reaction.

Options:

A) ideal reactant

B) excess reactant

C) limiting reactant

D) stoichiometric reactant

Answer:

C) limiting reactant

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, (C) limiting reactant

Explanation :

Excess reagent : It is defined as the reactants not completely used up in the reaction.

Limiting reagent : It is defined as the reactants completely used up in the reaction.

Theoretical yield : It is calculated from the amount of the limiting reagent present in the reaction.

Actual yield : It is experimentally determined.

From this we conclude that the limiting reactant determines the quantity that can be produced by the reaction.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) limiting reactant
