Detailed Solution

2A + 3B  C

Given information of the first statement that 3 moles of A and 4 moles of B produce 43 moles of C.

Explanation:

From the reaction

2A + 3B 1C

It can conclude that, to prepare 1 mole of C; we require 3 moles of B and 2 moles of A. It can be said that for preparing x moles of C, 3x moles of B and 2x moles of A are required.

So, to prepare 43 moles of C , :

43×3 moles of B and 43×2 moles of A

Hence, 4 moles of B and 2.6 moles of A require to produce 43 moles of C.

This means that first statement is false.

According to the question, there are 3 moles of A to produce 43 moles of 'C', but required moles is only 2.6 moles. Hence,  A is excess reagent and B is limiting Reagent.

So, Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true.
