Limiting Reactants • Available Ingredients • 4 slices of bread • 1 jar of peanut butter • 1/2 jar of jelly • Limiting Reactant • bread • Excess Reactants • peanut butter and jelly
Limiting Reactants • Limiting Reactant • used up in a reaction • determines the amount of product • Excess Reactant • Left over in a reaction • added to ensure that the other reactant is completely used up
