(1) The limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction. → True

(2) The reactant in excess is any reactant that occurs in a quantity greater than that is required to completely react with the limiting reactant. → True

(3) The amount of product can be calculated based on the amount of limiting reactant. → True

Explanation:

Excess reagent : It is defined as the reactants not completely used up in the reaction. The given moles are more than the required moles.

Limiting reagent : It is defined as the reactants completely used up in the reaction. The given moles are less than the required moles.

Theoretical yield : It is calculated from the amount of the limiting reagent present in the reaction.

Actual yield : It is experimentally determined.

All the given statements are true.
