Does the excess reagent determine how much product will be produced in a chemical reaction
Accepted Answer
In a chemical reaction, the excess reagent is the reactant that is present in a greater amount than is required to react with the limiting reagent. The limiting reagent is the reactant that is present in a smaller amount and limits the amount of product that can be formed. In general, the excess reagent does not determine how much product will be produced in a chemical reaction. The amount of product is determined by the amount of limiting reagent present.
