Assertion and Reason Type Questions
In the following questions a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is
given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.
13. Assertion (A): At 273 K & 1 bar 22.4 L of both oxygen & CO2 contains an equal number of
molecules.
Reason (R): According to Avogadro’s law, at a constant temperature & pressure equal volumes
of all gases contain an equal number of molecules.
i. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true & Reason (R) is the correct explanation of
Assertion (A).
 ii. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation
of Assertion (A).
iii. Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
iv. Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is false.
Answer: iii
14. Assertion (A): The law of conservation of mass isn’t explained in Dalton’s atomic theory.
Reason (R): Dalton said that the reorganization of atoms is involved in chemical reactions.
i. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true & Reason (R) is the correct explanation of
Assertion (A).
ii. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation
of Assertion (A).
iii. Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
iv. Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is false.
Answer: iv
15. Assertion (A): The empirical mass of ethene is half of its molecular mass.
Reason (R): The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of various atoms
present in a compound.
i. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
ii. A is true but R is false
iii. A is false but R is true
iv. Both A and R are false.
Ans: i
16. Assertion (A): One atomic mass unit is defined as one-twelfth of the mass of one carbon-12
atom.
Reason (R): Carbon-12 isotope is the most abundant isotope of carbon and has been chosen
as standard.
i. Both A and R are the true and R is the correct explanation of A.
ii. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
iii. A is true but R is false.
iv. Both A and R are false.
Ans: i
17. Assertion (A): Combustion of 16 g of methane gives 18 g of water.
Reason (R): In the combustion of methane, water is one of the products.
i. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
ii. A is true but R is false
iii. A is false but R is true.
iv. Both A and R are false.
Ans: iii
18. Assertion: (A): Molality is preferred over molarity of a solution.
Reason: (R): Molarity of solution changes with temperature while molality of a solution does not
change with temperature.
Ans: (i). It is because molarity of a solution changes with temperature while molality of a
solution does not change with temperature.
19. Assertion: (A): Hydrogen spectrum consists of a large number of lines.
Reason: (R): Different possible transitions are observed in hydrogen spectrum.
Ans: (i). Large number of lines are there in hydrogen spectrum because different possible
transitions can be observed which leads to large number of spectral lines
20. Assertion: (A) Molality of the solution is affected by temperature.
Reason: (R) Mass remains unchanged with temperature.
Ans: (iv). Molality of the solution is not affected by temperature because mass remains
unchanged with temperature.
