Assertion `(A:` Cell constant is the `EMF` of a cell.
Reason `(R):` Cell constant is determined by using saturated `KCl` solution.

A

If both `(A)` and `(R)` are correct, and `(R)` is the correct explanation of `(A)`.

B

If both `(A)` and `(R)` are correct, but `(R)` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`.

C

If `(A)` is correct, but `(R)` is incorrect.

D

If `(A)` is incorrect, `(R)` is correct.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion-reason question provided, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states: "Cell constant is the EMF of a cell." - The cell constant (denoted as \( G \)) is defined as \( G = \frac{l}{A} \), where \( l \) is the distance between the electrodes and \( A \) is the surface area of the electrodes. - The EMF (Electromotive Force) of a cell is the maximum potential difference between the two electrodes, which is not the same as the cell constant. - Therefore, the assertion is **incorrect**. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states: "Cell constant is determined by using saturated KCl solution." - The cell constant can indeed be determined using a solution of saturated KCl, as KCl has a known conductivity that can be used to measure the resistance of the cell. - The conductivity of the KCl solution allows us to calculate the cell constant accurately. - Therefore, the reason is **correct**. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is incorrect and the reason is correct, we can conclude that the correct answer is option 4: "Assertion is incorrect and reason is correct." ### Final Answer: - Assertion (A) is incorrect. - Reason (R) is correct. - Therefore, the correct option is: **4. Assertion is incorrect and reason is correct.**
