Key Concepts Covered

➡️ Limiting reagent – The reactant that is fully consumed first in a chemical reaction, determining the maximum amount of product achievable.
➡️ Excess reagent – The reactant remaining after the limiting reagent is used up, which does not limit the reaction.
➡️ Reaction stoichiometry – The quantitative relationship between reactants and products in a balanced chemical equation.
➡️ Calculating limiting reagent – Using molar ratios from balanced equations to identify the limiting reactant.
➡️ Yield calculations – Determining theoretical versus actual yield based on limiting reagent analysis.
