The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided. **Assertion:** Water has a boiling point higher than that of H₂S. **Reason:** At room temperature, water is liquid while H₂S is a gas. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion:** - The boiling point of water (H₂O) is 100°C (at 1 atm pressure). - The boiling point of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is -60.3°C (at 1 atm pressure). - Therefore, the assertion that water has a boiling point higher than that of H₂S is **true**. 2. **Understanding the Reason:** - At room temperature (approximately 25°C), water exists in the liquid state. - Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) exists as a gas at room temperature. - Thus, the reason that at room temperature water is liquid while H₂S is a gas is also **true**. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship:** - The reason provided explains why water remains liquid at room temperature while H₂S is a gas. This is primarily due to the presence of strong hydrogen bonding in water, which raises its boiling point compared to H₂S. - Therefore, the reason is a correct explanation for the assertion. 4. **Conclusion:** - Since both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion, the answer is: - **Option A:** Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer: **Option A:** Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion. ---
