Equal weights of `X` (atomic weight = 36) and `Y` (atomic weight = 24) are reacted to form the compound `X_(2) Y_(3)`, which of the following is/are correct

Options

A. (a)X is the limiting reagent
B. (b)Y is the limiting reagent
C. (c )No reactant is left over and mass of `X_(2)Y_(3)` formed is double the mass of 'X' taken
D. (d)None of these

Answer

C

Explanation

`{:(, 2X " +", 3Y rarr, X_(2)Y_(3)),("Weight"," W gram", "Wgram",0),("Mole", w/36, w/24,),("L.R"rarr, w/36xx1/2, w/(24xx3),),(,1/72, 1/27,):}`
No. one is L.R.
`{:(2X,+,3Y,rarr,X_(2)Y_(3)),(w/36,-,w/24,=,w/(2[36])):}`
Weight of `X_(2)Y_(3)=w/(2xx36)[72xx2]=2w`
So weight of `X_(2)Y_(2)=2` [weight of `X` Taken]
