The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the question. ### Step 1: Calculate the moles of \( NH_4^+ \) Given: - Mass of \( NH_4^+ = 9 \, \text{g} \) - Molar mass of \( NH_4^+ \): - Nitrogen (N) = 14 g/mol - Hydrogen (H) = 1 g/mol (4 H atoms) The molar mass of \( NH_4^+ \) is: \[ \text{Molar mass} = 14 + (4 \times 1) = 18 \, \text{g/mol} \] Now, we can calculate the number of moles: \[ \text{Moles of } NH_4^+ = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{9 \, \text{g}}{18 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.5 \, \text{moles} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the number of ions in \( NH_4^+ \) Since \( NH_4^+ \) is a single ion, the number of ions in 0.5 moles is: \[ \text{Number of ions} = 0.5 \, \text{moles} \times N_A = 0.5 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \approx 3.011 \times 10^{23} \, \text{ions} \] ### Step 3: Compare the number of ions to Avogadro's number Avogadro's number \( N_A \) is approximately \( 6.022 \times 10^{23} \). Therefore, the number of ions in 9 grams of \( NH_4^+ \) is: \[ 0.5 \times N_A \neq N_A \] This shows that the assertion (A) is false. ### Step 4: Analyze the reason (R) The reason states that "the number of ions is equal to the number of atoms." For \( NH_4^+ \): - 1 ion of \( NH_4^+ \) contains: - 1 Nitrogen atom - 4 Hydrogen atoms Thus, for 0.5 moles of \( NH_4^+ \): - Number of Nitrogen atoms = 0.5 moles - Number of Hydrogen atoms = \( 0.5 \times 4 = 2 \) moles The total number of atoms from 0.5 moles of \( NH_4^+ \) is: \[ \text{Total atoms} = 0.5 \, \text{(N)} + 2 \, \text{(H)} = 2.5 \, \text{moles of atoms} \] This shows that the number of ions is not equal to the number of atoms. Therefore, the reason (R) is also false. ### Conclusion Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are false. ### Final Answer Both assertion and reason are false. ---
