Q60 / 200 · NEET 2023 (All India) · Chemistry

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:

Assertion A: In equation ∆rG=-nFEcell value of ∆rG depends on n.
Reasons R: Ecell is an intensive property and ∆rG is an extensive property.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    A is false but R is true.
  • Correct answer
    B
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • C
    Both A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  • D
    A is true but R is false.

Solution

∆rG=-nFEcell, 

In the above function Ecell is an intensive property(mass independent property) and ∆rG is an extensive property(mass dependent property). Hence, ∆rG depends on the number of electrons(n) transferred in the cell reaction.

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