Limiting Reagent Made Easy: Stoichiometry Tutorial Part 5

This is a whiteboard animation tutorial that demonstrates how to identify the limiting reagent (aka limiting reactant) of a chemical reaction and how to calculate the theoretical yield and percent yield in a limiting reactant stoichiometry problem.

The limiting reagent (or limiting reactant) is the reactant in a reaction that limits the amount of product that can be made. In order to determine it, you need to calculate the amount of product that each reactant can produce. The reactant that can produce the least amount of product is the limiting reagent, and that least amount of product is the theoretical yield.

In order to determine the limiting reagent and the theoretical yield, you will need to perform multiple stoichiometry calculations (typically at least two grams to grams stoichiometry calculations).

This is the fifth and final tutorial in my stoichiometry series.

My goal is to make chemistry easier 😉
