NEET Chemistry Concentration Terms Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The solubility of a gas in a liquid increases with an increase in pressure. | Reason (R): Compressing the gas increases the number of gaseous particles per unit volume over the solution.
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 NCERT context explains that increasing pressure by compressing the gas increases the number of gaseous particles per unit volume over the solution, enhancing solubility until a new equilibrium is reached.
