B

If both assertion and reason are truw but reason is not correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Each question contains STATEMENT-1 (Assertion) and STATEMENT-2( Reason). Examine the statements carefully and mark the correct answer according to the instruction given below: STATEMENT-1: The melting point of ice decreases with increase of pressure. STATEMENT-2: Ice contracts on melting .

The melting of ice in water decreases with increase in pressure.

Assertion: The melting point of solid (except ice) increases with increase in pressure. Reason: An increasion in pressure favours the change where volume decreases.

The melting point of ice under normal conditions is

As pressure increases, the melting point of ice decreases.

At the melting point of ice, DeltaG = 0 .

The melting point of most of the solid substances increases with an increase of pressure acting on them . However , ice melts at a temperature lower than its usual melting point when the pressure increases . This is because :
