Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion Critical temperature :––––––––––––––––––––––––
The temperature at or above which vapor of the substance can't liquified, no matter how much pressure is applied.
e.g−NH3−405.5KCO2−304.10K
⟹ On cooling, ammonia liquifies first whereas CO2 requires more cooling as it has law critical temperature.
