Assertion : In pressure-temperature (P-T) phase diagram of water, the slope of the melting curve is found to be negative.
Reason : Ice contracts on melting to water.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The negative slope is because of change of phase. This happens to liquids which contract on melting.

These questions consist two statements each, printed as Assertion and reason, while answering these question you are required to choose any one of the following four responsis: (a) If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explanation of the assertion. (b) If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. (c ) If the assertion is true but reason is false. (d) If both the assertion and reason are false. Q. Assertion: The melting point of ice decreases with increase of pressure. Reson: ice contracts on melting.

An ice which was initially under standard conditions was compressedup to the pressure p = 640 atm . Assuming the lowering of the ice melting temperature to be a linear function of pressure under the given conditions, find what fraction of the ice melted. The specific volume of water is less than of ice by Delta V' = 0.09 cm^3//g .

As the ice is heated, it starts melting. Stir the mixture of ice and water.

Assertion : A piece of ice floats in water, the level of water remains unchanged when the ice melts completely. Reason : According to Archimede's principle, the loss in weight of the body in the liquid is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the immersed part of the body.
