Assertion (A): The gas phase reaction, shifts to the right direction on increasing temperature.
Reason (R): When temperature increases, equilibrium shifts towards right for an endothermic reaction.
Reason (R): When temperature increases, equilibrium shifts towards right for an endothermic reaction.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true
Option D is correct because the assertion is false, as increasing temperature shifts the equilibrium to the left for an exothermic reaction, while the reason is true.

Reason (R): cannot be hydrolysed.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
Option B is correct because both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion. NH3 is more polar than NF3 due to the direction of dipole moments, and NF3 is difficult to hydrolyze.
