Practice Problem: Limiting Reagent and Percent Yield

Once we get the hang of stoichiometric calculations, we get a curve ball. Limiting reagents? Not all of the reactants will react? We might not get as much product as we expect? Let's practice identifying the limiting reagent, calculating theoretical yield, and percent yield.
