If the ratio of atoms in the reactants used does not equal the ratio of atoms in the equation, you will have a limiting reagent.

Question

Please help me with this question. Is this true or false?

Answer 1

Weird way to state the question, because in a balanced equation the atoms in the reactants must equal the atoms in the products. However, if we look at experimental starting quantities of the reactants (given two or more starting amounts) I suppose you could say this fits the statement.
