Phosphoric acid is prepared commercially from phosphate ore as follows:
$Ca_3(PO_4)_2 + 3SiO_2 + 5C + 5O_2 + 3H_2O \to 3CaSiO_3 + 5CO_2 + 2H_3PO_4$
If $1.0 \ kg$ each of calcium phosphate and silica are used with an excess of $C$,$O_2$,and $H_2O$,what is the maximum quantity of phosphoric acid that can be produced (in $kg$)? (Atomic masses: $Ca = 40, P = 31, Si = 28, O = 16, H = 1$)

Assertion : The amount of the products formed in a reaction depends upon the limiting reagent.
Reason : Limiting reactant reacts completely in the reaction therefore limits the amount of product.

For the given reaction:
$CaCO_{3} + 2HCl \to CaCl_{2} + H_{2}O + CO_{2}$
If $90 \ g$ of $CaCO_{3}$ is added to $300 \ mL$ of $HCl$ solution which contains $38.55\%$ $HCl$ by mass and has a density of $1.13 \ g \ mL^{-1}$, then which of the following options is correct?
[Given molar masses of $H$, $Cl$, $Ca$, and $O$ are $1$, $35.5$, $40$, and $16 \ g \ mol^{-1}$ respectively]
