NEET2017ChemistryRedox ReactionsActual
Assertion: Equivalent weight of NH ₃ in the reaction, N ₂ NH ₃ is 17 / 3 while that of N ₂ is 28/6. Reason : Equivalent weight = Molecular weight array c Number of e⁻ lost or gained per mole array
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
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
: 0 ~N ₂+6 e⁻ 2 ~N ³⁻ Equivalent weight of NH ₃= 14+3 3 = 17 3 (Mol. wt. of NH ₃=17 ) While, equivalent weight of N ₂= 14 2 6 = 28 6
