Limiting Reactant Practice Problem

We'll practice limiting reactant and excess reactant by working through a problem. These are often also called limiting reagent and excess reagent. The limiting reactant or the limiting reagent is the first reactant to be used up during a chemical reaction. Once the limiting reactant or limiting reagent is used up, no more product can form. In order to solve stoichiometry problems with limiting reactant or limiting reagent, we need to figure out which of the reactants is the limiting reactant or limiting reagent. Then, we see how much product can be formed by using the maximum amount of the limiting reactant or limiting reagent. The excess reactant or excess reagent is what is left over after all of the limiting reactant or limiting reagent has been used up.

You are the kindest, most amazing teacher I have ever come across. My chemistry teacher treats me like trash in her class, and has done nothing but continuously discourage me and beg me to drop out of her class. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful person and posting these videos!

I could subscribe a million times sir. You are the best. we need more people like you. Never give up on the contribution you're making to society. I owe you a lot

I understand in 5 minutes what my professor was trying to teaching in 50 minutes.

Somebody give this dude an award. I literally am struggling so much in my Chem 135 class and then I cam across this reincarnation of god himself. Thank you so much.

You are so an amazing chemistry teacher. Chemistry with you is as simple as drinking water. WE LOVE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS

Me alone: 4 hours of trying to figure it out by myself
Me with you: 5 seconds DONE

Better than khan academy & way much better than CrashCourses

You’re probably not gonna see this, but to everyone else here joining us in Chem I think I speak for everyone when I say you’re helping improve my mental health.

[LiVe-fzsl]

only reason i passed these semester is because of you, so thanks you the best

+Tyler DeWitt > Khan Academy. You're the best dude. Keep it up!!!

[micgreat]

You've been of great help Tyler, a day watching your videos helped clarify weeks of confusion in class. Thank you.

[davidst.pierre]

You are a LIFESAVER, cant thank you enough. your videos help so much more than my professor ever could.

[brookebarcia]

Tyler thank you so much for your videos! I have a test tomorrow and I feel a thousand times more confident because of your videos. You are a great teacher!

No one should tell you to stop doing these kind of videos.. I think you are like an air in chemistry class in order for learners to have something to breathe.. I truly am thankful for the videos you've made and the videos that you're about to make.., you're an amazing teacher.. i wish you could double triple quadruple yourself..:)

[jullyray]

I love your voice; your handwriting and the way you teach. You're the best chemistry teacher I ever met. Thanks for clearing all my doubts and keep it up. 😇🤘🤟👌🤩

[AlliSafyer]

Love the video. Super helpful. If all teachers could explain like this chem would be a breeze

[keekzlee]

I left lecture so many times this semester feeling absolutely lost. My teacher was awesome, but he knows chemistry so well that I think he forgot he wasn't teaching people who were as advanced as he is. The way you explain things really helped me fill in the gaps. You are very much appreciated.

Organic Chem II semester, but I’m Doing some review here just to touch up old material…. This was by far the greatest explanation I have seen online! Keep it up sir! You are one of the reasons more people will take on more science courses without fear of failing!

[camicastronovo]

Your videos are going to help me through pre vet school, you make everything seem so clear! Thank you a hundred times for making these videos.

DeWitt is actually god. Whenever I'm looking up a science video, from high school to college, I look for him first. Thanks for being so helpful. Legend.
