A+2 B→ABX2\ce{A + 2B -> AB2}

36.0 g of ‘A' (Molar mass : 60 g mol−1^{-1}) and 56.0 g of ‘B' (Molar mass : 80 g mol−1^{-1}) are allowed to react. Which of the following statements are correct ?

  • (A)‘A' is the limiting reagent
  • (B)77.0 g of ABX2\ce{AB2} is formed
  • (C)Molar mass of ABX2\ce{AB2} is 140 g mol−1^{-1}
  • (D)15.0 g of A is left unreacted after the completion of reaction.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
  1. (1)C and D only
  2. (2)A and C only
  3. (3)B and D only
  4. (4)A and B only
We corrected a printing error in the original paper

Source printed “limting reagent” in statement A.
