Question

Assertion: We feel cold on touching the ice.
Reason: Ice is a solid form of water.
A. If both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B. If both the assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explantion of the assertion.
C. If the assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
Entropy of ice is less than water because water molecules in solid state lose kinetic energy and hence their tendency of movent is minimised. Hence entropy decreases in solid state. The reason that ice has cage-like structure is also correct but reason in not the correct explanation for assertion.
