V. Assertion and Reason Type

In the following questions a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.

Question: 44

Assertion (A) : Three states of matter are the result of balance between intermolecular forces and thermal energy of the molecules.

Reason (R) : Intermolecular forces tend to keep the molecules together but thermal energy of molecules tends to keep them apart.

(i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(iii) A is true but R is false.

(iv) A is false but R is true.

Answer: (i)

Question: 45

Assertion (A) : At constant temperature, vs plot for real gases is not a straight line.

Reason (R) : At high pressure all gases have but at intermediate pressure most gases have .

(i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(iii) A is true but R is false.

(iv) A is false but R is true.

Answer: (ii)

Question: 46

Assertion (A) : The temperature at which vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure is called boiling temperature.

Reason (R) : At high altitude atmospheric pressure is high.

(i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(iii) A is true but R is false.

(iv) A is false but R is true.

Answer: (iii)

Question: 47

Assertion (A) : Gases do not liquefy above their critical temperature, even on applying high pressure.

Reason (R) : Above critical temperature, the molecular speed is high and intermolecular attractions cannot hold the molecules together because they escape because of high speed.

(i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(iii) A is true but R is false.

(iv) A is false but R is true.

Answer: (i)

Question: 48

Assertion (A) : At critical temperature liquid passes into gaseous state imperceptibly and continuously.

Reason (R) : The density of liquid and gaseous phase is equal to critical temperature.

(i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(iii) A is true but R is false.

(iv) A is false but R is true.

Answer: (i)

Question: 49

Assertion (A) : Liquids tend to have maximum number of molecules at their surface.

Reason (R) : Small liquid drops have spherical shape.

(i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(iii) A is true but R is false.

(iv) A is false but R is true.

Answer: (iv)
