MCQ
Assertion (A): A gas can be easily compressed by applying pressure.
Reason (R): Since the inter-particle spaces in the gaseous state are very small, they cannot be decreased by applying pressure.
  • 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 the correct explanation of A
  • A is true but R is false.
  • D
    A is false but R is true

Answer

Correct option: C.
A is true but R is false.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: Since the inter-particle spaces in the gaseous state are very large, they can be decreased by applying pressure.
Thus, a gas can be easily compressed by applying pressure.
