    limiting reactants
    what is the limiting reactant in 2KI Pb(NO3)2
    my balanced equation looks like this;
    2KI Pb(NO3)2-> 2K(NO3)2=PbI2
    but I need to find the limiting reactant, we used 1gram of KI and 1gram of the Pb(NO3)2
    totally lost

    Find how many moles of each reactant you have.

    From your balanced equation, find the mole ratio between the reactants.

    From there, you should be able to guess deduce which reactant is limiting.
