NEET Chemistry Raoult's Law Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The boiling point of a solution is higher than that of the pure solvent.
Reason (R): The elevation of boiling point depends on the number of solute molecules rather than their nature.
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 elevation of boiling point is a colligative property that depends on the number of solute molecules, not their nature, which explains why the boiling point of a solution is higher than that of the pure solvent.
