1.	what is limiting regent ?? I think no one can ans this ?
Answer» The component in a reaction that limits the formation of product is known as limiting reagent. It determines what amount of product will be formed or in other words the formation of product in a reaction is dependent on the limiting reagent.<br>This reactant generally determines when the reaction will stop. The exact amount of reactant which will be needed to react with another element can be calculated from the reaction stoichiometry. The limiting reagent\xa0depends on the mole ratio, not on the masses of the reactants present.From the illustration shown above, it can be observed that the limiting reactant is the reason the reaction cannot continue since there is nothing left to react with the excess reactant. it is the reactant that entirely consumed over the course of the reaction.Limiting Reagent ExamplesConsider 1 mol of oxygen and 1 mol of hydrogen are present to undergo the following reaction.2H2\xa0+ O2\xa0→ 2H2OSince the reaction uses up hydrogen twice as fast as oxygen, the limiting reactant would be hydrogen.<br>Limiting reagent is the compound in reactant which is available in limited value on which whole product is dependent
