list your helpful mnemonics

[southpawcannon]

What mnemonics have helped you in your prep for the MCAT?

One I've discovered today was in regards to limiting reagents. Couldn't for the life of me remember when which reactant was limiting. So, I came up with this: BANANA

B is the limiting reagent if Actual moles ratio of A:B is greater than the Needed moles

A is the limiting reagent if Needed A:B mole ratio is greater than Actual moles

I'm proud of myself...Lol
Let's hear yours!

In this scenario, it might help to realize that whatever reagent has a small ratio of moles, or produces fewer products is the limiting reagent.
