Assertion : Water in liquid state is more stable than ice at room temperature. Reason : Water in liquid form has higher entropy than ice.

Options

  1. AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
  2. BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
  3. CIf assertion is true, but reason is false
  4. DBoth assertion and reason are false statements.

Correct answer

A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

Step-by-step solution

Fusion of ice is a spontaneous process, because the process again proceeds in the direction of more random state, i.e. liquid state is more random (higher entropy) in comparison to solid state. i.e. ice.
