1
Q
limiting reactant
A
the reactant that runs out first
the reaction ceases as soon as the limiting reactant runs out
limiting reactant determines the maximum amount of products
2
Q
theoretical yield
A
maximum amount of products
3
Q
how to predict the amount of product
A
use the amount of the limiting reactant and the mole ratio between the limiting reactant and the product of interest to avoid overestimation
