Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Assertion (A): The molality of KCl solution at 25°C is 5 m. (Given molar mass of KCl is 74.5 g/mol). When the solution is cooled to -10°C, the molality of the solution remains unchanged.
Reason (R): The molality of the solution does not change with temperature as the mass remains unaffected with temperature.
- A Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is not the correct explanation of \(A\)
- B \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false
- C A is false but R is true
- D Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true, \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true, \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Molality \(= \dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}}\) Since mass is independent of temperature (unlike volume), molality does not change with temperature. So Reason (R) is true. A 5 m KCl solution has a highly depressed freezing point (\(\approx -18.6°C\)),…
