NEET Chemistry Mole Concept Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The stoichiometric coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent both the number of molecules and the number of moles involved in the reaction.
Reason (R): In the combustion of methane, the stoichiometric coefficient of oxygen is 2, indicating two molecules and moles of oxygen are required.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The stoichiometric coefficients indeed represent both the number of molecules and moles, as shown in the combustion of methane example where O2 has a coefficient of 2.
