Why is it important to identify the limiting reactant? [Select all that apply]
-The limiting reactant will be entirely used up in the reaction as it forms products.
-The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be produced when all of the limiting reacting is converted into product.
-In order to correctly calculate the percent yield, you need to know the actual yield and the theoretical yield, which depends on the limiting reactant.
-If you don't determine the correct limiting reactant, it is possible to end up with percent yields that are too high or too low.
-It doesn't matter which reactant is the limiting reactant, as long as I carefully follow the instructions in the lab procedure.
