The correct Answer is:
To solve the given assertion-reason question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states: "At constant temperature, if pressure on the gas is doubled, density is also doubled." - We start with the ideal gas law, which is given by the equation: \[ PV = nRT \] where \( P \) is pressure, \( V \) is volume, \( n \) is the number of moles, \( R \) is the ideal gas constant, and \( T \) is temperature. ### Step 2: Relating Density to Pressure - We can express the number of moles \( n \) in terms of mass \( m \) and molar mass \( M \): \[ n = \frac{m}{M} \] - Substituting this into the ideal gas equation gives: \[ PV = \frac{m}{M}RT \] - Rearranging for volume \( V \): \[ V = \frac{mRT}{PM} \] ### Step 3: Expressing Density - Density \( \rho \) is defined as: \[ \rho = \frac{m}{V} \] - Substituting the expression for \( V \) into the density equation: \[ \rho = \frac{m}{\frac{mRT}{PM}} = \frac{PM}{RT} \] ### Step 4: Analyzing the Relationship - From the derived equation \( \rho = \frac{PM}{RT} \), we can see that at constant temperature \( T \) and constant molar mass \( M \), density \( \rho \) is directly proportional to pressure \( P \): \[ \rho \propto P \] - Therefore, if pressure \( P \) is doubled, density \( \rho \) will also double. ### Conclusion for Assertion - The assertion is **true**. ### Step 5: Understanding the Reason The reason states: "At constant temperature, molecular mass of a gas is directly proportional to the density and inversely proportional to the pressure." - We can express molecular mass \( M \) in terms of density \( \rho \) and pressure \( P \): \[ M = \frac{\rho RT}{P} \] - From this equation, we can see that at constant temperature \( T \), molecular mass \( M \) is indeed directly proportional to density \( \rho \) and inversely proportional to pressure \( P \). ### Conclusion for Reason - The reason is **true**, but it does not fully explain the assertion because it does not mention that the molecular mass \( M \) is constant in this context. ### Final Conclusion - Both the assertion and reason are correct, but the reason does not adequately explain the assertion without stating that the molecular mass is constant. ### Answer - The correct answer is: **B** - Both are correct, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

To solve the given assertion-reason question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states: "At constant temperature, if pressure on the gas is doubled, density is also doubled." - We start with the ideal gas law, which is given by the equation: \[ PV = nRT ...
