Assertion : Ice leftharpoons water, if pressure is applied water...
Assertion : Ice water, if pressure is applied water will evaporate.
Reason : Increases of pressure pushes the equilibrium towards the side in which number of gaseous molecule increases.
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
Increase in pressure favours melting of ice into water because at higher pressure melting point of ice is lowered.
According to Le-Chatelier's principle, if pressure is increased the equilibrium will shift in direction which produces smaller number of moles.
