Different Approaches

Using the lecture supplements again, we learned of 2 different approaches to finding the limiting reagent. In approach 1, you look at the number of moles of each reactant. This approach seemed to take a little longer and was a little more confusing. In approach 2, you calculated and compared the amount of product each reactant will produce. This approach was much more simple and faster. After doing some practice problems, the lecture was pretty smooth.
