NEET2015ChemistrySome Basic Concepts of ChemistryActual
Assertion: One mole of NaCl contains 6.023 10²³ molecules of sodium chloride. Reason : 58.5 ~g of NaCl also contains 6.023 10²³ molecules of NaCl .
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIfboth 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
B. Ifboth assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
Molar mass or mass of 1 mole of NaCl =23+35.5=58.5 ~g According to mole concept, 1 mole of molecules = Gram molecular mass =6.023 10²³ molecules 58.5 ~g of NaCl also contains 6.023 10²³ molecules of NaCl .
