Assertion : Critical temperature of CO ₂ is 304 ~K , it cannot be liquified above 304 ~K . Reason : At a certain temperature, volume 1 pressure
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
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
Critical temperature of a gas may be defined as that temperature above which it cannot be liqufied however high pressure may be applied on the gas. Hence, CO ₂ cannot be liquified above its critical temperature. According to Boyle's law P 1 V or V 1 P (at constant T and .n )
