The active mass for any pure liquid or pure solid

A

is always taken as 1

B

is always infinity

C

is always zero

D

would depend on the nature of the solid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since pure solids and pure liquids do not appear in the equilibrium constant expression (because their active masses are incorporated into equilibrium constant), their active mass is taken as 1.

Assertion (A) : The active mass of pure solid and pure liquid is taken unity. Reason (R) : The active mass of pure solids and liquids depends on the density and molecular mass. The density and molecular of a mass of pure liquids and solids are constant.

Assertion: No term in the concentration of a pure solid or a pure liquid apperas in an equilibrium constant expression. Reason: Each pure solid or pure liquid is in a phase by itself and has a constant concentration at constant temperature.
