The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze the Assertion** - The assertion states that the number of atoms in 2 moles of \( NH_3 \) is equal to the number of atoms in 4 moles of \( CH_4 \). - We need to calculate the number of atoms in both compounds. **Step 2: Calculate the Number of Atoms in \( NH_3 \)** - Each molecule of \( NH_3 \) contains 1 nitrogen atom and 3 hydrogen atoms, totaling 4 atoms. - For 2 moles of \( NH_3 \): \[ \text{Number of molecules} = 2 \, \text{moles} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{molecules/mole} = 1.2044 \times 10^{24} \, \text{molecules} \] - Therefore, the total number of atoms in 2 moles of \( NH_3 \) is: \[ \text{Total atoms} = 1.2044 \times 10^{24} \, \text{molecules} \times 4 \, \text{atoms/molecule} = 4.8176 \times 10^{24} \, \text{atoms} \] **Step 3: Calculate the Number of Atoms in \( CH_4 \)** - Each molecule of \( CH_4 \) contains 1 carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms, totaling 5 atoms. - For 4 moles of \( CH_4 \): \[ \text{Number of molecules} = 4 \, \text{moles} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{molecules/mole} = 2.4088 \times 10^{24} \, \text{molecules} \] - Therefore, the total number of atoms in 4 moles of \( CH_4 \) is: \[ \text{Total atoms} = 2.4088 \times 10^{24} \, \text{molecules} \times 5 \, \text{atoms/molecule} = 1.2044 \times 10^{25} \, \text{atoms} \] **Step 4: Compare the Number of Atoms** - From the calculations: - Number of atoms in 2 moles of \( NH_3 \) = \( 4.8176 \times 10^{24} \) - Number of atoms in 4 moles of \( CH_4 \) = \( 1.2044 \times 10^{25} \) - Clearly, \( 4.8176 \times 10^{24} \neq 1.2044 \times 10^{25} \). - Therefore, the assertion is **false**. **Step 5: Analyze the Reason** - The reason states that both \( NH_3 \) and \( CH_4 \) are chemically similar species. - However, \( NH_3 \) (ammonia) contains nitrogen, while \( CH_4 \) (methane) contains carbon. They belong to different groups in the periodic table and have different bonding characteristics. - Thus, the reason is also **false**. ### Conclusion: Both the assertion and the reason are false. Therefore, the correct option is that both statements are false.
