Question

In your own words, write a paragraph to explain how the idea of limiting reagents can be used in the real world.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write a paragraph about the idea of limiting reagents.

In the real world, we produce substances from a combination of substances. In this combination, some are in excess of each other. The ones that are used up first are the limiting reagent because they dictate how much of the product we can get. Take for example we want to make a car and we have 30 steering wheels and 500 tires. While we need a steering wheel per car, we need 4 tires per car. The steering wheel availability means we can only get 30 cars and that means it is the limiting reagent since it dictates the number of cars we can make
