The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that both 106 g of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and 12 g of carbon have the same number of carbon atoms. 1. **Determine the Molar Mass of Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3)**: - Sodium (Na) has a molar mass of approximately 23 g/mol. - Carbon (C) has a molar mass of approximately 12 g/mol. - Oxygen (O) has a molar mass of approximately 16 g/mol. - Molar mass of Na2CO3 = (2 × 23) + (1 × 12) + (3 × 16) = 46 + 12 + 48 = 106 g/mol. 2. **Calculate the Number of Moles in 106 g of Na2CO3**: - Moles of Na2CO3 = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol) = 106 g / 106 g/mol = 1 mole. 3. **Determine the Number of Carbon Atoms in 1 Mole of Na2CO3**: - Each molecule of Na2CO3 contains 1 carbon atom. - Therefore, 1 mole of Na2CO3 contains 1 mole of carbon atoms. 4. **Calculate the Number of Carbon Atoms**: - Using Avogadro's number (6.022 × 10^23), the number of carbon atoms in 1 mole is 6.022 × 10^23 atoms. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that both substances contain 1 gram atom of carbon, which corresponds to 6.023 × 10^23 carbon atoms. 1. **Determine the Number of Moles in 12 g of Carbon**: - Moles of Carbon = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol) = 12 g / 12 g/mol = 1 mole. 2. **Calculate the Number of Carbon Atoms in 1 Mole of Carbon**: - Similar to Na2CO3, 1 mole of carbon also contains 6.022 × 10^23 carbon atoms. ### Conclusion Both 106 g of sodium carbonate and 12 g of carbon contain the same number of carbon atoms (6.022 × 10^23). Therefore, the assertion is true. The reason is also true because both substances contain 1 mole of carbon, which corresponds to 6.022 × 10^23 carbon atoms. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ---

To solve the question, we need to evaluate both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that both 106 g of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and 12 g of carbon have the same number of carbon atoms. 1. **Determine the Molar Mass of Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3)**: - Sodium (Na) has a molar mass of approximately 23 g/mol. - Carbon (C) has a molar mass of approximately 12 g/mol. ...
