AIIMS 2019 Chemistry Gas Laws Assertion Reason Question
Assertion : The graph between v/s is a straight line.
Reason : The anionic sites occupied by unpaired electrons (due to F-centres)
Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Assertion is true but reason is false.
Both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true because Boyle's law accurately describes the inverse relationship between pressure (P) and volume (V) at constant temperature (T), represented as P ∝ 1/V. However, the reason provided is false because while the adiabatic process is indeed described by the equation PVᵞ = constant, it does not explain Boyle's law, which applies under isothermal conditions. Option A is incorrect because the reason does not correctly explain the assertion, while option C is incorrect as it misrepresents the truth of the assertion. Option D is also incorrect since the assertion is valid.
