Given below are two statements: Statement-I : (2 ~A+3 ~B arrow C)...
Given below are two statements:
Statement-I : (2 \mathrm{~A}+3 \mathrm{~B} \rightarrow \mathrm{C})
(\frac{4}{3}) moles of ' ' are produced when 3 moles of ' ' and 4 moles of ' ' are added.
Statement-II : 'A' is limiting reagent for the given data.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- AStatement-I and II both are correct.
- BStatement-I is correct while II is incorrect.
- CBoth Statement-I and II are incorrect.
- DStatement-I is incorrect and II is correct.
Correct answer
D. Statement-I is incorrect and II is correct.
Step-by-step solution
Statement-I:
"4/3 moles of 'C' are produced when 3 moles of ' ' and 4 moles of ' ' are added."
- From the balanced equation, 2 moles of require 3 moles of .
- We have 3 moles of , so 4.5 moles of are required, but only 4 moles of are available.
- is the limiting reagent.
- Using 4 moles of B , the moles of C produced:
(\frac{1}{3} \times 4=\frac{4}{3}) moles of C.
Statement-II:
" A is the limiting reagent for the given data."
Since B is the limiting reagent, Statement-II is incorrect.
