Question

Assertion: Ice ⇌ Water, if pressure is applied water will evaporate.

Reason : lncrease of pressure pushes the equilibrium towards the side in which number of gaseous molecule increases

(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 correct explanation of A

(c) A is true but R is false

(d) A and R are false

Answer 1

Correct option  (d) A and R are false

Explanation:

Increase in pressure favours melting of ice into water because at higher pressure melting point of ice is lowered. 

According to Le-Chatelier's principle, if pressure is increased the equilibriurm will shift in direction which produces smaller number of moles.
