2. Assertion and Reason based question: (5 x 1=5)
Read the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) carefully to mark the correct option out of the
options given below:
a. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the
assertion.
b. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the
assertion.
c. If assertion is true but reason is false.
d. If the assertion and reason both are false.
e. If assertion is false but reason is true.
(i) Assertion: Out of various colligative properties, osmotic pressure is used for
determination of molecular masses of polymers.
Reason: Polymer solutions do not possess constant boiling point or freezing point.
(ii) Assertion: Elevation in boiling point is inversely proportional to relative lowering
of vapour pressure for dilute solutions.
Reason: Relative lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to mole
fraction of solute.
(iii) Assertion: Van’t Hoff factor is equal to unity if the electrolytic solute undergoes
100% dissociation.
Reason: Van’t Hoff factor for sucrose solution is unity.
(iv) Assertion: The dissolution of gases in water is always an endothermic process.
Reason: The dissolution of gases in water proceed with a decrease in entropy.
(v) Assertion: The difference in boiling points of equimolar solution of HCl and HF
decreases as their molarity is decreased.
Reason: The extent of dissociation decreases steadily with increasing dilution.
