Limiting Reactant
• It limits the reaction
• When the limiting reactant is completely consumed, the reaction stops
• The reactant that is entirely consumed if the reaction is 100% complete.
Excess Reactant
• The reactant/s remaining when the reaction is 100% complete.
Theoretical Amount of Excess Reactant
• The amount necessary to react with all of the limiting reactant
