    Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as

    Assertion: The value of van der Waals constant a for ammonia is larger than that of nitrogen gas. Reason: Molecular weight of ammonia is smaller than nitrogen gas.

    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 the Reason: is not the correct explanation of the Assertion:

    C) If Assertion: is true but Reason: is false

    D) If both Assertion: and Reason: are false

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Molecular   weight   of   ammonia \[KOH\] Molecular   weight   of nitrogen   gas \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\] Smaller the molecular weight of a gas, higher the value of van der Waals constant a for it. Thus, between \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\] and \[{{N}_{3}}\], the value of van der Waals constant a is higher for \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\].,
