Highland Science Department Limiting Reactants in Solution Limiting Reactant: the reactant that is used up first in a chemical reaction. Excess Reactant: the reactant that will still be left over when the reaction is complete Finding Limiting Reactant: compare mole ratios to those needed in the balanced chemical reaction to see which one is present in lower numbers
