Physics-Ideal Gas Equation

NEET Physics Ideal Gas Equation Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11

Assertion (A): An ideal gas follows the equation PV = μRT at all pressures and temperatures. | Reason (R): The number of molecules per unit volume is the same for all gases at a fixed temperature and pressure.

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 but R is true.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

While both the assertion and reason are true, the reason does not explain why an ideal gas follows PV = μRT. The ideal gas equation is derived from the kinetic theory, not directly from Avogadro's hypothesis.
