The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "Rennet and fruit extract of Withania somnifera have antagonistic functions." This means that the two substances are claimed to have opposing effects. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason provided is that "Rennet is obtained from calf's liver and is used for curding of milk." This suggests that rennet is derived from a specific source and has a particular function related to milk. ### Step 3: Evaluate the Reason We need to verify the accuracy of the reason. Rennet is not obtained from calf's liver; it is actually derived from the stomach of calves, specifically from the lining of the fourth stomach (abomasum). Therefore, the reason is incorrect. ### Step 4: Evaluate the Assertion Next, we assess the assertion. Rennet and the fruit extract of Withania somnifera (commonly known as ashwagandha) do not have antagonistic functions. In fact, both can be used in the curdling of milk, meaning they have similar functions rather than opposing ones. Thus, the assertion is also incorrect. ### Step 5: Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, we conclude that the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are false. ---

Metals are extracted from their ores by a wide variety of techniques. The most common ores are oxides. Most metals are obtained by direct treatment of theirs ores with chemical agents, but the extraction of certain others require electrolysis. An example of the former type of process is the extraction of iron from its oxide, described by the following equation : Fe_(2) O_(3) + 3C rarr 2Fe + 3CO The relative ease of extraction of a metal from its oxide can be estimated using the Ellingham diagram, as shown in the figure. The diagram plots the free energies of formation of various oxides per mole of consumed oxygen as a function of absolute temperature. Which of the following best explains why the free energy of formation of Fe_(2)O_(3) becomes less negative as the temperature is increased.

Entropy is a state function and its value depends on two or three variable temperature (T), Pressure(P) and volume (V). Entropy change for an ideal gas having number of moles(n) can be determined by the following equation. DeltaS=2.303 "nC"_(v)"log"((T_(2))/(T_(1))) + 2.303 "nR log" ((V_(2))/(V_(1))) DeltaS=2.303 "nC"_(P) "log"((T_(2))/(T_(1))) + 2.303 "nR log" ((P_(1))/(P_(2))) Since free energy change for a process or a chemical equation is a deciding factor of spontaneity , which can be obtained by using entropy change (DeltaS) according to the expression, DeltaG = DeltaH -TDeltaS at a temperature T What would be the entropy change involved in thermodynamic expansion of 2 moles of a gas from a volume of 5 L to a volume of 50 L at 25^(@) C [Given R=8.3 J//"mole"-K]
