A 'limiting reactant' is the one, which decides the ____________ in the chemical reaction?
Correct answer: B. Conversion
- A. Equilibrium constant
- B. Conversion
- C. Rate constant
- D. None of these
Explanation
The limiting reactant is consumed first, so it fixes the maximum extent of reaction and therefore the achievable conversion. It does not determine the equilibrium constant or rate constant, which depend on thermodynamic and kinetic factors.
