A + 2B AB2 36.0 g of 'A' (Molar mass : 60 g mol-1) and 56.0 g of 'B' (Molar mass : 80 g mol-1) are allowed to react. Which of the following statements are correct ? Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A and C Only
- A and B Only
- C and D Only
- B and D Only
Answer
(4) B and D Only
Solution
Moles of A = 36.060 = 0.60 mol; moles of B = 56.080 = 0.70 mol
B needed for 0.60 mol A = 2 0.60 = 1.20 mol > 0.70 mol available
B is the limiting reagent. Statement A is incorrect.
Molar mass of AB2 = 60 + 2 80 = 220 g mol-1. Statement C is incorrect.
AB2 formed = 0.702 = 0.35 mol = 0.35 220 = 77.0 g. Statement B is correct.
A used = 0.35 mol = 0.35 60 = 21.0 g
A left = 36.0 - 21.0 = 15.0 g. Statement D is correct.
