In the following question, a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below in each question.
Assertion (A) At constant temperature, PV vs V plot for real gases is not a straight line.
Reason (R) At high pressure all gases have Z > 1 but at an intermediate pressure, most gases have Z < 1.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true R is not the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true but R is false
(d) A is false but R is true
Answer: (b) Both A and R are true R is not the correct explanation of A
Both assertion and reason are the true reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. At constant temperature, PV vs V for real gases is not a straight line because real gases have intermolecular forces of attraction.
