because the reactants are constantly regenerated.

Unlike in an irreversible reaction, there will still be some of the limiting reactant left at equilibrium? Is this correct?



Please help me to clarify this point.

Thanks!

Well, there still can be a limiting reagent in an equilibrium situation, in the sense that in equilibrium, the amount of one reagent determines the maximum amount of product formed in the reaction - the only difference to a non-reversible reaction being that the amount of product isn't the stoichiometrically possible, but the amount dictated by the position of the equilibrium. You're right in saying that in the equilibrium situation, some of the "limitin" reagent will be left.
