NEET Chemistry Mole Concept Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The stoichiometric coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent both the number of molecules and moles taking part in or formed in a reaction. | Reason (R): The coefficients are only relevant for gaseous reactants and products.
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, but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The stoichiometric coefficients in a balanced equation represent the number of molecules and moles for all states of matter, not just gases, as indicated by the use of (g), (s), and (l) for gases, solids, and liquids respectively.
