Q.

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

Assertion A : In equation ΔrG=-nFEcell, value of ΔrG depends on n.

Reason R : Ecell is an intensive property and ΔrG is an extensive property.

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

Ans.

(4)

ΔrG=-nFEcell

Ecell is an intensive parameter but ΔrG is an extensive thermodynamic property and the value of ΔrG depends on n.
