The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reasoning question regarding essential oils, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze Assertion (A) - **Assertion (A)** states: "Essential oils are volatile and are insoluble in H₂O." - **Explanation**: Essential oils are indeed volatile, meaning they can easily vaporize at lower temperatures. They are also generally insoluble in water because they have a lower density than water, leading them to form a separate layer rather than mixing with it. ### Step 2: Analyze Reason (R) - **Reason (R)** states: "Essential oils are purified by steam distillation." - **Explanation**: Steam distillation is a method used to separate temperature-sensitive substances, such as essential oils. This process works well for essential oils because they are volatile and immiscible in water, allowing for effective purification without degrading the oils. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between (A) and (R) - Both the assertion and the reason are correct statements about essential oils. - Furthermore, the reason (R) provides a correct explanation for the assertion (A) because steam distillation is indeed the method used to purify essential oils, which are characterized by their volatility and insolubility in water. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - Both (A) and (R) are correct, and (R) is the correct explanation for (A). ### Final Answer The correct option is: **(a). If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation for (A).** ---
