Q43 / 180 · AIIMS 2018 (26 May) · Chemistry

Assertion : $\mathrm{O}_3$ has higher boiling point than $\mathrm{O}_2$. Reason : $\mathrm{O}_3$ is allotrope of oxygen.

  • A
    If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  • Correct answer
    B
    If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  • C
    If assertion is true but reason is false.
  • D
    If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

$\mathrm{O}_3$ has high molar mass than $\mathrm{O}_2$ so, it has higher boiling point than that of $\mathrm{O}_2$.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
