Given below are two statements: Statement-I : Gases are generally...
Given below are two statements:
Statement-I : Gases are generally collected over water and therefore are moist.
Statement-II : Pressure exerted by saturated water vapour is called aqueous tension.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth statement-I and statement-II are incorrect
- BBoth statement-I and statement-II are correct
- CStatement-I is incorrect and statement-II is correct
- DStatement-I is correct and statement-II is incorrect
Correct answer
B. Both statement-I and statement-II are correct
Step-by-step solution
- Statement-I is correct because gases collected over water are indeed moist, as they contain water vapor.
- Statement-II is correct because the pressure exerted by saturated water vapor is referred to as aqueous tension. This needs to be considered when calculating the pressure of a gas collected over water.
