MCQ
For two statements are given$-$one labelled Assertion $(A)$ and the other labelled
Reason $(R)$. Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $(a), (b), (c)$ and $(d)$ as given below:
Assertion: When calcium carbonate is heated, it decomposes to give calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
Reason: The decomposition reaction takes place on application of heat, therefore, it is an endothermic reaction.
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
  • Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • C
    $A$ is true, but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ is false, but $R$ is true.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
$\ce{CaCO_3}$ on heating gives $\ce{CO_2}$ and $\ce{CaO.}$
