    Answer: Five cheese slices

    Explanation:

    Limiting reagent is the chemical reactant which limits the formation of product. Excess reagent is the chemical reactant which is left unreacted or unused.

    Given:

    1 cheese slice + 2 lettuce leaves + 2 bread slices = 1 sandwich

    That is 2 bread slices, 2 lettuce leaves and 1 cheese slice is used for making one sandwich.

    Available ingredients: 8 cheese slices + 6 lettuce leaves + 6 bread slices

    Thus 6 bread slices, 6 lettuce leaves and 3 cheese slices are used for making 3 sandwiches.

    Thus (8-3) = 5 cheese slices are the leftover or excess reactant.

    Thus five cheese slices represent the leftover reactant.
