Assertion :- Water in liquid state is mo...

Assertion :- Water in liquid state is more stable than ice at room temperature.
Reason :- Water in liquid from has higher entropy than ice.

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
Assertion : At room temperature, water is more stable because ice will tend to melt at room temperature.
Reason: Water in liquid form has higher entropy than ice. Greater the entropy, greater the stability. So reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
