This episode explains the concept of limiting reactants in chemical reactions. It uses the analogy of making pairs of gloves to illustrate how the reactant present in the smaller amount (the limiting reactant) determines the maximum amount of product formed. The episode then demonstrates how to identify the limiting reactant and calculate the theoretical yield of product using stoichiometry, working through several example problems involving different reactants and products.
