Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): At 10∘C,10^\circ C, the density of a 5 M solution of KClKCl [atomic masses of K  &  ClK\,\,\& \,\,Cl are 39 & 35.5 g  mol−1g\,\,mo{l^{ - 1}} respectively] is ′x′  g  ml−1.'x'\,\,g\,\,m{l^{ - 1}}. The solution is cooled to −21∘C.- 21^\circ C. The molality of the solution will remain unchanged.
Reason (R) : The molality of a solution does not change with temperature as mass remains unaffected with temperature.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Option A is correct. Molality is defined as moles of solute per kilogram of solvent, which is independent of temperature because mass does not change with temperature. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
