I need some help with this Limiting Reactant Stoichiometry problem. I know the answer now, but I don't understand it. Given the following reaction: Zn+2HCl→ZnCl2+H​2 How many grams of ZnCl2 will be produced from 17g of Zn and 1g of HCl? I understand everything up to the point of multiplying the molecular mass of 132.8 by 0.014. Wouldn't you want to multiply it by the limiting factor?

yes

HCl is the limiting reagent
