The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Assertion (A) **Assertion (A): 1 Avogram is equal to 1 amu.** - An Avogram is a unit of mass that is defined as the mass of 1 mole of a substance divided by Avogadro's number (approximately \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\)). - An atomic mass unit (amu) is defined as one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. - By definition, 1 Avogram is equivalent to 1 gram divided by Avogadro's number, which is also equal to 1 amu. **Conclusion for Assertion (A):** The assertion is **correct**. ### Step 2: Understanding Reason (R) **Reason (R): Avogram is the reciprocal of Avogadro's number.** - The statement claims that an Avogram is the reciprocal of Avogadro's number. However, this is incorrect. - Avogadro's number is a constant that represents the number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in one mole of a substance. It does not have a reciprocal in the context of mass units. - The Avogram is a unit of mass, while Avogadro's number is a dimensionless quantity that counts entities. They are not directly related as reciprocal quantities. **Conclusion for Reason (R):** The reason is **incorrect**. ### Final Conclusion - Since the assertion is correct and the reason is incorrect, we conclude that the correct option is that Assertion (A) is true, and Reason (R) is false. ### Final Answer: Assertion (A) is correct, but Reason (R) is incorrect. ---
