Assertion: The molecular weight of acetic acid determined by depression in freezing point method in benzene and water was found to be different.
Reason: Water is polar and benzene is nonpolar.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(e) If the Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
Explanation:
In polar solvent, acetic acid will dissociate leading to greater depression in freezing point.
