The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "Alcohols are dehydrated to hydrocarbons in the presence of acidic zeolites." - This is a true statement. Acidic zeolites, such as ZSM-5, are indeed used as catalysts to dehydrate alcohols, leading to the formation of hydrocarbons. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "Zeolites are porous catalysts." - This statement is also true. Zeolites have a porous structure that allows them to facilitate various catalytic reactions by providing a large surface area for reactants to interact. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - While both the assertion and the reason are true, we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - The assertion specifically mentions the dehydration of alcohols to hydrocarbons, while the reason describes a property of zeolites (their porosity). - The porosity of zeolites does contribute to their catalytic activity, but it does not directly explain why they are effective in dehydrating alcohols to hydrocarbons. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both statements are correct, but the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion, the answer is that the assertion is correct, the reason is correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **B**: Assertion is correct, reason is correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. ---

Zeolites are used as catalyst in :

Assertion: Alcohols have higher boiling points than ethers of comparable molecular masses. Reason: Alcohols and ethers are isomerism in nature.

Give reason for the following: Zeolites act as shape selection catalysts.

Assertion (A): Hydrolyiss of ethyl acetate in the presence of acid is a reaction of first order whereas in the presence of alkali, it is a reaction of second order. Reason (R ): Acid acts as catalyst only whereas alkali act as one of the reactant.

Assertion (A) The enthalpy of reaction remains constant in the presence of a catalyst. Reason (R) A catalyst participating in the reaction froms different activated complex and lowers down the activation energy but the difference in energy of reactant and product remains the same.

Assertion(A): A catalyst speed up a reaction but does not participate in its mechanism. Reason(R): A catalyst provides an alternative path of lower activation energy to the reactants.

Assertion : Alcohols have more boiling point than aldehydes of comparable molecular masses. Reason : Alcohol molecules have strong hydrogen bonding between them.

Assertion: Force can be added to pressure. Reason: Force and pressure have same dimensions.
