Assertion: is less acidic than
Reason: F exerts better + mesomeric effect than Cl.
Assertion: Phenoxide ion on treatment with active alkyl halide (e.g., CH2=CH-CH2Cl) gives two products viz. O-substituted and C-substituted.
Reason: Phenoxide ion is an ambident nucleophile.
Assertion: K, Rb and Cs form superoxides.
Reason: The stability of the superoxides increases from ‘K’ to ‘Cs’ due to decrease in lattice energy.
Assertion: A catalyst increase the rate of a reaction.
Reason: In presence of a catalyst, the activation energy of the reaction decreases.
Assertion: NaCl is less soluble in heavy water than in ordinary water.
Reason: Dielectric constant of ordinary water is more than that of heavy water.
Assertion: Equal moles of different substances contain same number of constituent particles.
Reason: Equal weights of different substances contain the same number of constituent particles.
Assertion: The catalytic converter in the car’s exhaust system converts polluting exhaust gases into non-toxic gases.
Reason: Catalytic converter contains a mixture of transition metals and their oxides embedded in the inner support.
Assertion: As a lead storage battery gets discharged density of electrolyte, present in it, decreases.
Reason: Lead and lead dioxide both react with sulphuric acid to form lead sulphate.
