Question
**Assertion (A):** In the reaction $2H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O$, $10 \text{ g}$ of $H_2$ reacts with $10 \text{ g}$ of $O_2$ to form $20 \text{ g}$ of $H_2O$. <br>**Reason (R):** The reaction follows the law of conservation of mass.
Answer: D
💡 Solution & Explanation
While the law is true, $10 \text{ g } H_2$ needs $80 \text{ g } O_2$ to react completely. Here $O_2$ is limiting. Only $1.25 \text{ g } H_2$ will react with $10 \text{ g } O_2$ to form $11.25 \text{ g } H_2O$. Total mass ($10+10$) remains $20 \text{ g}$, but $20 \text{ g}$ of *product* is not formed. Assertion is false. [1, 9]
