Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11

Assertion (A): In the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia, hydrogen is often the limiting reagent.

Reason (R): The stoichiometric ratio requires three moles of hydrogen for every mole of nitrogen.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer
