Reagents are the substances that you use up in a chemical reaction. You can think of reagents as ingredients when cook something in the kitchen. Sometimes reagents are also referred to as reactants. But you don't have to worry since they both mean the same thing.
Reagents are found on the left side of a chemical equations [the ones you see in books or in the discussions your teacher gave you]. For the following example of chemical reaction, A + B ----> C, A and B are the reagents and C is the chemical product of the reaction.
Hope this helps.=)

A reagent is any substance used in a chemical reaction. It usually implies a chemical that is added in order to bring about the chemical change.
For example hydrochloric acid is the chemical reagent that would cause calcium carbonate to release carbon dioxide.

limiting reagent prevents further reaction as it will be the first reagent being used up. excess reagent will be the reagent in excess, left over from the reaction after the limiting reagent has been used up.

You will find "reagents" on the 'left' side of a chemical equation.

Reagants are the stuff you mix together in a chemical reaction. There are many different methods for identify the chemical composition of something.
