What are limiting reagents? Up until now, we have assumed that all reactants are used up in a reaction. In actuality, usually one chemical runs out first, stopping the reaction—that chemical is called the limiting reagent.
For Example: How many sandwiches can you make from a full jar of peanut butter, a full jar of jelly and 4 slices of bread?

The limiting reagent limits or determines the amount of product that can be formed in a reaction. On the flip side, the excess reagent is the one not completely used up.
How do you find what the limiting reagent is? To find the limiting reagent, use dimensional analysis to determine how much of the product will be formed by both reactants. The smaller of the two results will indicate which reactant is the limiting reagent.
Here’s an example: In the reaction: Mg + HCl a MgCl2 + H2 you combine 35.5 grams of magnesium with 28.1 grams of hydrochloric acid. Which one is the limiting reagent, and how much magnesium chloride is produced?
Mg + 2 HCl a MgCl2 + H2 35.5 g Mg x 1 mole Mg x 1 mole MgCl2 x 95.3 g MgCl2 = 139 g MgCl2 24.3 g Mg 1 mole Mg 1 mole MgCl2
Mg + 2 HCl a MgCl2 + H2 35.5 g Mg x 1 mole Mg x 1 mole MgCl2 x 95.3 g MgCl2 = 139 g MgCl2 24.3 g Mg 1 mole Mg 1 mole MgCl2 28.1 g HCl x 1 mole HCl x 1 mole MgCl2 x 95.3 g MgCl2 = 36.6 g MgCl2 36.5 g HCl 2 moles HCl 1 mole MgCl2
Mg + 2 HCl a MgCl2 + H2 35.5 g Mg x 1 mole Mg x 1 mole MgCl2 x 95.3 g MgCl2 = 139 g MgCl2 24.3 g Mg 1 mole Mg 1 mole MgCl2 28.1 g HCl x 1 mole HCl x 1 mole MgCl2 x 95.3 g MgCl2 = 36.6 g MgCl2 36.5 g HCl 2 moles HCl 1 mole MgCl2 HCl is the limiting reagent and 36.6 g of MgCl2 are produced.
Percent Yield In the real world, you never form 100% of the products that you think you should based on theoretical calculations. By comparing how much of a product forms to how much should form based on stoichiometry, you can find the percent yield.
Percent Yield %Yield= actual yield x 100 theoretical yield
