Assertion: Entropy of ice is less than water. Reason: Ice has cage-like structure.

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:
B
Entropy of ice is less than water because water molecules in solid state lose kinetic energy and hence their tendency of movement minimise. Hence entropy decreases in solid state. The reason that ice have cage like structure is also correct but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
