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:** - The assertion states that both 12 g of carbon and 27 g of aluminum will have \(6.02 \times 10^{23}\) atoms. - This is based on the concept of molar mass and Avogadro's number. 2. **Calculating for Carbon:** - The molar mass (gram atomic mass) of carbon (C) is 12 g/mol. - To find the number of moles in 12 g of carbon: \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{mass in grams}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{12 \text{ g}}{12 \text{ g/mol}} = 1 \text{ mole} \] - Since 1 mole of any substance contains \(6.02 \times 10^{23}\) atoms (Avogadro's number), the number of atoms in 12 g of carbon is: \[ 1 \text{ mole} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23} \text{ atoms/mole} = 6.02 \times 10^{23} \text{ atoms} \] 3. **Calculating for Aluminum:** - The molar mass of aluminum (Al) is 27 g/mol. - To find the number of moles in 27 g of aluminum: \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{27 \text{ g}}{27 \text{ g/mol}} = 1 \text{ mole} \] - Similarly, the number of atoms in 27 g of aluminum is: \[ 1 \text{ mole} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23} \text{ atoms/mole} = 6.02 \times 10^{23} \text{ atoms} \] 4. **Conclusion on Assertion:** - Both 12 g of carbon and 27 g of aluminum indeed contain \(6.02 \times 10^{23}\) atoms. 5. **Understanding the Reason:** - The reason states that the gram atomic mass of an element contains Avogadro's number of atoms. - This is correct because the gram atomic mass (molar mass) corresponds to the mass of one mole of that element, which is defined to contain \(6.02 \times 10^{23}\) atoms. 6. **Final Evaluation:** - Since both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason correctly explains the assertion, we conclude that the answer is: - **Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason explains Assertion.** ### Final Answer: - The correct answer is **A**: Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason explains Assertion.
