NEET2023ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R: Assertion A: In equation ∆ r G = - nFE cell value of ∆ r G depends on n . Reasons R: E cell is an intensive property and ∆ r G is an extensive property. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA is false but R is true.
- BBoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- CBoth A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
- DA is true but R is false.
Correct answer
B. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Step-by-step solution
∆ r G = - nFE cell , In the above function E cell is an intensive property(mass independent property) and ∆ r G is an extensive property(mass dependent property). Hence, ∆ r G depends on the number of electrons(n) transferred in the cell reaction.
