Every reaction has the "fuel" that keeps the reaction going.
We can think of the fuel as the limiting factor or the reactant that gets used up first in an experiment.
Once this reactant gets used up, the experiment stops.
The other reactant, is in excess or left over at the end of a reaction.
If you were to add more of the limiting factor to the reaction after it has stopped, the reaction would continue.
