In each of the following questions, an Assertion (A) is followed by a corresponding Reason (R). Use the following keys to choose the appropriate answer.
Assertion (A): If 30 mL of H2 and 20 mL of O2 react to form water, 5 mL of H2 is left at the end of the reaction.
Reason (R): H2 is the limiting reagent.
If (A) is incorrect and (R) is correct.
(A) is wrong, but (R) is correct.
H230 mL+12O215 mL reacted→H2O
Volume of O2 left = 20 - 15 = 5 mL
(R) is correct, since H2 is completely consumed, and hence is the limiting reagent.
