The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of H₂SO₄ To determine the assertion, we first need to calculate the molar mass of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). - Hydrogen (H): There are 2 atoms of hydrogen, and the atomic mass of hydrogen is approximately 1 g/mol. \[ \text{Mass of H} = 2 \times 1 = 2 \text{ g/mol} \] - Sulfur (S): There is 1 atom of sulfur, and the atomic mass of sulfur is approximately 32 g/mol. \[ \text{Mass of S} = 1 \times 32 = 32 \text{ g/mol} \] - Oxygen (O): There are 4 atoms of oxygen, and the atomic mass of oxygen is approximately 16 g/mol. \[ \text{Mass of O} = 4 \times 16 = 64 \text{ g/mol} \] Now, we can add these masses together to find the total molar mass of H₂SO₄: \[ \text{Molar mass of H₂SO₄} = 2 + 32 + 64 = 98 \text{ g/mol} \] ### Step 2: Analyze the assertion The assertion states that 1 mole of H₂SO₄ contains the same mass of oxygen and sulfur. - Mass of oxygen in 1 mole of H₂SO₄ = 64 g - Mass of sulfur in 1 mole of H₂SO₄ = 32 g Since 64 g (mass of oxygen) is not equal to 32 g (mass of sulfur), the assertion is **incorrect**. ### Step 3: Analyze the reason The reason states that 1 mole of H₂SO₄ represents a mass of 49 g. From our calculation, we found that the molar mass of H₂SO₄ is 98 g, not 49 g. Therefore, the reason is also **incorrect**. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. Thus, the correct answer to the question is that both the assertion and the reason are wrong. ---
