Identify limiting reactants

Free printable Chemistry science worksheet for "Identify limiting reactants" — practice moles and stoichiometry. No-prep, print or assign online.

High school students identify limiting reactants in chemical reactions by analyzing mole ratios and determining which reagent is consumed first in this stoichiometry worksheet. Teachers can use it during a moles and stoichiometry unit to push students from balanced equations to quantitative reasoning about reaction efficiency. The concept is central to chemistry lab work, industrial processes, and understanding why reactions rarely go to theoretical completion.
