Question

Assertion (A): The limiting reagent is the reactant that is entirely consumed.which

gives least amount of product on being entirely consumed.

Reason (R): The reagent which gives least amount of product on being

completely consumed is the limiting reagent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Assertion is true but Reason is false

Answer 2

The limiting reagent is the reactant that is entirely consumed which  gives the least (limited) amount of product on being entirely consumed. Therefore, the assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect.

Explanation:

• Limiting reagent can be defined as the reactant or reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction.
• The defining fact about limiting reagent is its consumption in the reaction. It is consumed completely in the reaction.
• This affects the amount of product formation as the product formation depends upon the amount of limiting reagent.
• The product cannot be formed further if the limiting reagent is entirely consumed.
• It limits the amount of product formation.
