AIIMS2002ChemistryThermodynamics (C)
Assertion : Mass and volume are extensive properties. Reason : Mass/volume is also an extensive parameter.
Options
- AIf both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but assertion is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
- CIf the assertion is true but the reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
C. If the assertion is true but the reason is false.
Step-by-step solution
Extensive properties are dependent upon the amount of the substance. .e.g. mass, volume etc. Intensive properties are independent of the amount of the substance. e.g. temperature, density.
