Solution

The correct option is A $B$ is limiting reactant
when $1$ mole of $A$ atom combines with $1 m o l$ of atom $B .$
$2.5 m o l$ of atom $A$ combines with 2.5mol of atom B,then $2.5 m o l$ of $A$ remain as it is hence $B$ is limiting reagent $B$ is less compared to $A .$

In a reactionA2+B→A2BIf 200 molecules of A2 is reacted with 300 atoms of B to complete the reaction, then the correct statement is:

The correct option is A B is limiting reactantwhen 1 mole of A atom combines with 1mol of atom B.2.5mol of atom A combines with 2.5mol of atom B,then 2.5mol of A remain as it is hence B is limiting reagent B is less compared to A.
