JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 -1. Solution and colligative properties

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R.\) Assertion \(A:\) \(3.1500\,g\) of hydrated oxalic acid dissolved in water to make \(250.0\,mL\) solution will result in \(0.1\,M\) oxalic acid solution. Reason \(R:\) Molar mass of hydrated oxalic acid is \(126\,g\,mol ^{-1}\). In the light of the above statements, chose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is NOT the correct explanation of \(A\).
  2. B \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true.
  3. C \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false.
  4. D Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\).
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Assertion is correct. \(H _2 C _2 O _4 \cdot 2 H _2 O\) \(M =\frac{3.15 \times 1000}{126 \times 250}\) \(\frac{12.6}{126}=0.1\) Reason is correct. It is used as a fact in explanation of assertion.
