Assertion : Molecular mass of benzoic ac...

Assertion : Molecular mass of benzoic acid when determined by colligative properties is found high.
Reason : Dimerisation of benzoic acid.

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
Colligative properties are the properties of solutions containing non volatile solute.
It is correct that molecular mass of benzoic acid when determined by colligative properties is found abnormally high. This is because dimerisation of benzoic takes place in solution resulting in high molecular mass.
Therefore, assertion and reason are true and reason is correct explanation.
