Explanation
State whether the given statement is true or false.
Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
Assertion is true but Reason is false
Both Assertion and Reason are false
Vapor pressure is a measurement of the likelihood of the molecules of a pure solvent to change from the liquid to the vapor phase. If we add a non volatile solute to solvent such as water, we decrease the tendency for water molecules to evaporate into the gas phase. In essence, the solute particles obstruct or reduce the likelihood of evaporation.
As a result, fewer molecules change from the liquid to the gas phase, thus reducing the vapor pressure. so Assertion is true.
All solutes do not dissociate into positive and negative ions, so Reason is false.
The suppression of the dissociation of weak acid/base on the addition of its own ion is called the common ion effect.
Ammonium hydroxide is a weak base and it can be dissociated as,
$$N{H_4}OH + HCl \rightleftarrows N{H_4}^ + + O{H^ - }$$
Ammonium chloride is a salt and it is obtained from a neutralization of weak base and strong acid ($$N{H_4}OH + HCl$$) . Ammonium chloride can be dissociated as,
$$N{H_4}Cl \rightleftarrows N{H_4}^ + + C{l^ - }$$
On $$N{H_4}OH$$ and $$N{H_4}Cl$$ , $$N{H_4}^ + $$ $$N{H_4}^ + $$ (Ammonium ion) is common and thus, it suppresses the dissociation of ammonium hydroxide as per Le Chatelier's principle.
Thus, ammonium hydroxide and ammonium chloride show a common ion effect.
A buffer solution is one which resists changes in pH when small quantities of an acid or an alkali are added to it.
An acidic buffer solution is simply one which has a pH less than 7. Acidic buffer solutions are commonly made from a weak acid and one of its salts - often a sodium salt.EX: $$CH_3COOH+CH_3COONa$$
An alkaline buffer solution has a pH greater than 7. Alkaline buffer solutions are commonly made from a weak base and one of its salts.EX: Borax and boric acid.
Hence option C, D are correct.
So both (R) and (A) are true and reason is the. correct explanation of assertion.
Hence option A is correct.
