The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that it is easier to spray water in which some soap is dissolved. This implies that the presence of soap in water facilitates the spraying process. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason given is that soap is easier to spread. This suggests that soap has properties that allow it to cover surfaces more effectively. 3. **Surface Tension Concept**: - Surface tension is the property of a liquid that causes it to behave as if its surface is covered with a stretched elastic membrane. It is a measure of the cohesive forces acting at the surface of a liquid. 4. **Effect of Soap on Surface Tension**: - When soap is added to water, it reduces the surface tension of the water. This is because soap molecules disrupt the cohesive forces between water molecules, making it easier for the water to spread out and form smaller droplets. 5. **Spraying Water**: - To spray water, we need to break the surface into smaller droplets. The work done to create these droplets is proportional to the surface area created and the surface tension of the liquid. - If the surface tension is lower (as with soapy water), less work is required to create the same surface area. 6. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion states that it is easier to spray soapy water, and the reason explains that soap reduces surface tension (making it easier to spread), we can conclude that the assertion is true and the reason is also true. However, the reason does not directly explain the assertion. ### Final Evaluation: - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: True, but it does not fully explain the assertion.
