The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that the number of atoms of Helium (He) in 60 u of He is 15. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that the atomic weight of He is 4 u. This is a known fact; the atomic weight of helium is indeed approximately 4 u. ### Step 3: Calculate the Number of Atoms To determine if the assertion is correct, we can use the relationship between atomic weight and the number of atoms. 1. **Atomic weight of He** = 4 u means that 1 atom of He weighs 4 u. 2. To find the number of atoms in 60 u of He, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Number of atoms} = \frac{\text{Total mass}}{\text{Mass of one atom}} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Number of atoms} = \frac{60 \, \text{u}}{4 \, \text{u/atom}} = 15 \, \text{atoms} \] ### Step 4: Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are correct, we conclude that the assertion is true and the reason is true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and reason are correct.
