NEETChemistrySome Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Assertion (A): The molar mass of a compound is the mass of one mole of that compound in grams. Reasoning (R): Molar mass can be calculated using the formula Molar Mass (= mass of the sample number of moles )
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.
- CA 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.
