Question

6. When the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction is completely used up, what will happen to the reaction? excess reactants begin combining reactions slows down reaction speeds up reaction stops

Answer 1

D. The reaction stops.

Answer 2

## Step 1In a chemical reaction, the limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely consumed first. This reactant determines the maximum amount of product that can be formed in the reaction.## Step 2Once the limiting reactant is completely used up, the reaction stops. This is because there is no more of this reactant available to continue the reaction.## Step 3Even though there may be excess reactants left, they cannot react without the limiting reactant. Therefore, the reaction does not speed up or slow down, nor do the excess reactants begin combining.
