NEET2010PhysicsThermal Properties of MatterActual
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 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
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Step-by-step solution
Water would evaporate quickly because there is no atmosphere on moon, due to which surface temperature of moon is much higher than earth (maximum surface temperature of moon is 123^ C ).
