NEET2008ChemistrySome Basic Concepts of ChemistryActual
Assertion : When a concentrated solution is diluted by adding more water, molarity of the solution remains unchanged. Reason : Product of moles of a solute and volume is equal to the molarity.
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
D. If both assertion and reason are false.
Step-by-step solution
Molarity equation is written as M₁ V₁=M₂ V₂ thus if the V₂ changes M₂ also changes. Molarity = moles of solute volume of solution in litre
