Question 11 Mark
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:
  1. Both A and Rare true and R is correct explanation of the Assertion.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false but R is true.
Assertion(A): Esterification is a process in which a sweet smelling substance is produced.

Reason(R): When esters react with sodium hydroxide an alcohol and sodium salt of carboxylic acid are obtained.
Answer
  1. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

Explanation:

When alcohol is added to carboxylic acid with sodium hydroxide and heated in bath tub, it produces a sweet smell of ester and this process is called Esterification.

Question 21 Mark
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:
  1. Both A and Rare true and R is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false but R is true.
Assertion(A): In a homologous series of alcohols, the formula for the second member is C2H5OH and the third member is C3H7OH.

Reason(R): The difference between the molecular masses of the two consecutive members of a homologous series is 144.
Answer
  1. A is true but R is false.

Explanation:

A homologous series is a series of organic compounds that contains identical functional group and differs only in the length of the carbon chain in the compound.

The general formula for homologous series for alcohols is C(n)H(2n + 1)OH, where n is a natural number.

Substituting n = 2 and n = 3 we get C2H5OH and C3H7OH respectively, which verifies the assertion made.

The two consecutive members of the homologous series varies only by a CH2 group, hence the difference in molecular mass of two consecutive members is equal to 14.

Question 31 Mark
The following questions, a statement of Assertion is given by the corresponding statement of Reason. Of the statements, mark the correct answer as.
  1. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  2. If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  3. If Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
  4. If Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
Assertion Diamond does not conduct electricity.
Reason Diamond has high refractive index.
Answer
If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

A material’s ability to conduct electricity is determined by the number and mobility of its free electrons.

In diamond, each carbon atom uses all four of its valence electrons to bond with neighboring atoms. That doesn’t leave any electrons free for conducting electricity.

Question 41 Mark
The following questions, a statement of Assertion is given by the corresponding statement of Reason. Of the statements, mark the correct answer as.
  1. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  2. If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  3. If Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
  4. If Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
Assertion Alcohol cannot be used as an additive in petrol.
Reason Alcohol give rise to CO and H2O when burnt in sufficient air.
Answer
If Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
In the absence of subsidy, there would be very little use of ethanol as a fuel. But those are no the only reasons. Ethanol carries less energy than the same volume of gasoline. Ethanol is also much more hygroscopic than gasoline, absorbing significant amounts of water from air.

Reason: Carbon atoms form double as well as triple bonds during catenation.
Answer
  1. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Explanation:

Catenation property of carbon is primarily due to its small size, electronic configuration and unique strength of carbon-carbon bonds.
