Q72 / 180 · AIIMS 2015 · Chemistry

Assertion : $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$ has higher boiling point than water. Reason : $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$ has stronger dipole-dipole interactions than that shown by water.

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