1.41. Assertion: In chemical reactions, the reactant, which gets consumed first, limits the amount of product formed and is called the limiting reagent.
R: Stoichiometry deals with the calculation of masses (sometimes volumes also) of the reactants and the products involved in a chemical reaction.

1.41. (b) Both the statements are correct but the second statement is not the actual reason for the first statement.
Many a times, reactions are carried out with the amounts of reactants that are different than the amounts as required by a balanced chemical reaction. In such situations, one reactant is in more amount than the amount required by balanced chemical reaction.
The reactant which is present in the least amount gets consumed after sometime and after that further reaction does not take place whatever be the amount of the other reactant. Hence, the reactant, which gets consumed first, limits the amount of product formed and
