Assertion : Water kept in an open vessel will quickly evaporate on the surface of the moon. Reason : The temperature at the surface of the moon is much higher than the boiling point of water.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
Step-by-step solution
Since the escape velocity on the surface of the moon is much less than that on earth, so the water molecules get evaporated faster.
