 Many chemical reactions taking place in our surroundings involve the limiting reactant. Explain with example

Many chemical reactions taking place in our surroundings involve the limiting reactant. Some examples are as follows

 Example 1:

 In a chemical reaction a large quantity of oxygen make things to burn rapidly. As oxygen used in excess is left behind when the action is completed soothe other regent is consumed earlier is known as limiting reactant.

Example 2:
