The reagent needed to complete a reaction depends on the specific reaction being carried out. It could be a catalyst, solvent, substrate, or a specific chemical compound required for the reaction to proceed successfully. Consulting the reaction mechanism or the experimental protocol would help identify the necessary reagents.

The reactant that is used up first in a reaction.
Borsch reagent is a solution used to test for the presence of pentoses (5-carbon sugars) in a substance. The reaction involves the pentose sugars in the solution reacting with the reagent to produce a colored compound, which indicates the presence of pentoses in the sample.
To find the limiting reagent in a chemical reaction, you calculate the amount of product that each reactant can produce. The reactant that produces the least amount of product is the limiting reagent. You can then use this information to determine the amount of product that can be formed in the reaction.
