    This document provides the answers to 7 practice problems on limiting reagents. For each problem, the limiting reagent is identified, the amount of product formed is calculated, and any excess reactant remaining is determined. The problems cover a range of chemical reactions involving compounds like NH3, O2, C2H4, C6H6, Br2, C4H9OH, NaBr, H2SO4, Si, N2, C2H5OH, and O2. Percent yields are also calculated for some reactions.
