Question

Assertion: Soft drinks and soda water bottles are sealed under high pressure.

Reason: High pressure maintains the taste and texture of soft drinks.

• A. Assertion is true, but the reason is false.
• B. Both assertion and reason are false.
• C. Both assertion and reason are true. The reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
• D. Both assertion and reason are true. The reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Assertion is true, but the reason is false.

Explanation for Assertion:-

• The soda drinks and soda waters are sealed under high pressure.
• This increases, the solubility of the Carbon dioxide$\left({\mathrm{CO}}_2\right)$.

Explanation for Reason:-

• According to Henry's law, the partial pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the solubility of the gas.
• That is more the pressure of the gas more will be the solubility of the gas.
• Thus, due to this, to increase the solubility of $\left({\mathrm{CO}}_2\right)$, the bottles are sealed under high pressure.
• It is not done to improve or maintain the taste or texture of the sodas or drinks.

Therefore, option (A) Assertion is true, but the reason is false is the correct answer.
