Chemistry · Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): In a chemical reaction governed by limiting reagent, the reactant completely consumed determines the amount of product formed. Reason (R): Limiting reagent is present in minimum amount among all reactants. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. (A) is true but (R) is false.
2. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
3. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
4. (A) is false but (R) is true.
