Chapter 3, Problem 71E
(a) Define the terms limiting reactant and excess reactant.
(b) Why are the amounts of products formed in a reaction determined only by the amount of the limiting reactant?
(c) Why should you base your choice of which compound is the limiting reactant on its number of initial moles, not on its initial mass in grams?
