The correct Answer is:
To determine the validity of the assertion and reason provided in the question, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that "One molal aqueous solution of urea contains 60g of urea in 1kg (1000 g) water." - A molal solution is defined as a solution that contains one mole of solute per kilogram of solvent. - Urea (chemical formula: CO(NH2)2) has a molar mass of approximately 60 g/mol. **Calculation:** - To find out how many grams of urea are in one mole, we use its molar mass: - 1 mole of urea = 60 g of urea. Thus, in a 1 molal solution, we would indeed have 60 g of urea dissolved in 1 kg of water. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states that "A solution containing one mole of solute in 1000g solvent is called a one molal solution." - This definition aligns perfectly with the definition of molality. - Molality (m) is defined as: \[ m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} \] - Therefore, having one mole of solute in 1000 g (or 1 kg) of solvent is indeed the definition of a 1 molal solution. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are correct. A one molal aqueous solution of urea does contain 60 g of urea in 1 kg of water, and the definition of a molal solution is accurately stated. ### Final Answer - **Assertion:** True - **Reason:** True - **Conclusion:** Both the assertion and the reason are correct. ---
