ompound 1h (1.25 g, 5.20 mmol) was dissolved in hot MeOH (20 mL), to which 1N NaOH (10 mL, 10.0 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated under reflux for 1 h and then more water (50 mL) was added. The aqueous layer was neutralized by addition of 1M HCl (15 mL). The precipitated crude product was collected by filtration, which was recrystallized from MeOH to give a yellow solid 1k. Yield: 0.63 g, 53%. 1. What is the limiting reagent (LR) in the reaction above and why has it been chosen

explanation:

venn diagram is pictorial representation with of circles showing the relation between two finite sets or things. the intersection part of two circles conveys the relation present in between those sets or things.

here in the venn diagram of sand and salt two circles represent sand and salt. but the area falling under the intersection of these circle represents the mixture of sand and salt.

so, in a venn diagram the mixture will be placed in a middle that is in between the intersection of two circles.
