MCQ
Assertion $(A)$ : At critical temperature liquid passes into gaseous state imperceptibly and continuously.
Reason $(R)$ : The density of liquid and gaseous phase is equal to critical temperature.
  • $A$ and $R$ both are correct, and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A.$
  • B
    $A$ and $R$ both are correct, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
  • C
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ and $R$ both are false.

Answer

Correct option: A.
$A$ and $R$ both are correct, and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A.$
At critical state, surface tension of liquid is zero hence liquid passes into gaseous state imperceptibility and continuously . At this stage, the liquid and vapor phase becomes equal.
