NEET Chemistry (general) Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11

Assertion (A): In an isothermal expansion of an ideal gas into a vacuum, the internal energy of the gas remains unchanged. | Reason (R): The work done by the gas during expansion into a vacuum is zero.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

During an isothermal expansion of an ideal gas into a vacuum, both the internal energy change (ΔU) and work done (w) are zero, hence R correctly explains A as per Chunk 2.
