Assertion: Vapour pressure of solvent A increases when a more volatile solvent B is added. Reason : B is more volatile therefore vapour pressure of B is greater than that of A .
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
Vapour pressure increases means the solvent B is more volatile than A and it has vapour pressure greater than that of A .
