Concept introduction:
Limiting reagent is the reagent that limits the amount of product during the reaction. Actually, it determines the product, as it is present in a lesser amount than required. Other reagents will be present in excess.
Excess reactant is the reactant which is present in larger amount than required.
The required amount of
