NEETChemistrySome Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Assertion (A): One mole of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters at standard temperature and pressure (STP). Reasoning (R): This volume is specific to gases and is due to the ideal gas law.
Options
- ABoth (A ) and (R ) are true, and (R ) is the correct explanation for A.
- BBoth (A ) and (R ) are true, but (R ) is not the correct explanation for A.
- C(A ) is true, but (R ) is false.
- DA is false, but R is true.
Correct answer
A. Both (A ) and (R ) are true, and (R ) is the correct explanation for A.
Step-by-step solution
- Assertion (A) is true; one mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters at STP. - Reasoning (R) is true because this volume results from the ideal gas law ((P V=n R T) ). - Therefore, the correct option is A) Both (A ) and (R ) are true, and (R ) is the correct explanation for A.
