Physics-Ideal Gas Equation

NEET Physics Ideal Gas Equation Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11

Assertion (A): The total pressure of a mixture of ideal gases is the sum of the partial pressures of each gas. | Reason (R): The partial pressure of a gas is the pressure it would exert if it alone occupied the entire volume at the same temperature.

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.
