Q.

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

Assertion A: 3.1500 g of hydrated oxalic acid dissolved in water to make 250.0 mL solution will result in 0.1 M oxalic acid solution.

Reason R: Molar mass of hydrated oxalic acid is 126 g mol-1.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:              [2023]

1 A is true but R is false  
2 Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A  
3 A is false but R is true  
4 Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A  

Ans.

(2)

Molarity (M)=wtM.wt×1000V(mL)

                        =3.15126×1000250=0.1

Reason is correct as it is used as a fact in the explanation of Assertion.
