The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we will break down the concepts related to vapor pressure, non-volatile solutes, and their effects on solutions. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Vapor Pressure**: - Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by the vapor in equilibrium with its liquid at a given temperature. Pure solvents have a certain vapor pressure. 2. **Effect of Non-volatile Solutes**: - Non-volatile solutes, such as NaCl (sodium chloride), do not evaporate and thus do not contribute to the vapor pressure of the solution. When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, it occupies space at the surface of the liquid, reducing the number of solvent molecules that can escape into the vapor phase. 3. **Raoult's Law**: - According to Raoult's Law, the vapor pressure of a solvent in a solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent. When a non-volatile solute is added, the mole fraction of the solvent decreases, leading to a decrease in the vapor pressure of the solution compared to that of the pure solvent. 4. **Analyzing the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "on adding NaCl to water, its vapor pressure increases." This is incorrect because adding NaCl (a non-volatile solute) to water will decrease the vapor pressure of the water. 5. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason states that "addition of non-volatile solute increases the vapor pressure." This is also incorrect. The addition of a non-volatile solute decreases the vapor pressure of the solvent. 6. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are false. Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is incorrect, and the reason is also incorrect. ### Final Answer: - Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect.
