Solution
The correct option is ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion. Statement I: A 1m NaCl (aq) solution will freeze at a temperature below 273 K Because Statement II: As a solute is added to a solvent, the boiling point increases while the freezing point decreases. The freezing point of pure water is 273 K. The freezing point of 1 m aq NaCl solution will be lower than that. Hence, both statements are true and second statement is correct explanation for the first statement.
