Answer : The incorrect option is, (d) The reactant that was the smallest given mass is the limiting reagent.
Explanation :
Limiting reagent : It is the reagent that is completely consumed in the chemical reaction when the chemical reaction is complete. No amount is left after the reaction is complete. The amount of product obtained is determined by the limiting reagent. A balanced equation is necessary to determine which reactant is limiting reagent.
Excess reagent : It is the reagent that are not completely consumed in the chemical reaction. That means the reagent is in excess amount. Some amount of the excess reagent is left over after the reaction is complete.
From this we conclude that the options, A, B and C are correct. While the option D is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because it is not necessary the reactant that was the smallest given mass is the limiting reagent but it is judge by the number of moles present in the reaction.
Hence, the incorrect option is, (d)

Answer:
Hg
Explanation:
We are given information about the unknown element, and using each characteristic, we can narrow down the possible elements until we have just one possibility left.
Conducts electricity: This means that the element has to be a metal, or a semi-metal, because non-metals cannot conduct electricity.
Forming chloride and oxide ions: When it is seen that it forms chloride and oxide ions in the form of XCl₂ and XO, it can be seen that this element has an ionic charge of +2. This narrows it down to the elements in <u>Group 2.</u>
Liquid at room temperature: This is tricky, because we realize that there are no elements in group 2 that are liquid at room temperature. So hence we can look at groups 3 to 12, and see if there are any liquid metals with an ionic charge of +2.
Taking all this information into account, we can see that the only element it can be is mercury (Hg).
Now, i might be wrong but, you have to make a hypotosis of possible theories as to what the truck is doing. Then observe what changes were made after the salt was added then the question should be why was the salt added and how it changed the area. I hope this helps!
