The reactant that is exhausted first for a specified balanced reaction and initial mixture, thereby setting the maximum amount of product under the stated assumptions.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
A balanced chemical equation gives the amount ratios used to identify a limiting reactant, but it does not by itself establish reaction completion or exclude competing pathways.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
wp-chem-stoichiometryopenstax-chemistry-2eiupac-gold-bookThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Stoichiometric coefficients and the specified initial amounts determine which reactant reaches zero first, provided the intended reaction, conversion assumptions, and side reactions are stated.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
