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.
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- Correct answerBIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf 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'.
