Answer
Correct option: B.
Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
When alcohol is added to carboxylic acid with sodium hydroxide and heated in bath tub, it produces a sweet smell of ester and this process is called Esterification.

Two statements are given $-$ one labelled
Assertion $(A)$ and the other labelled
Reason $(R)$. Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $(a), (b), (c)$ and $(d)$ as given below:
Assertion $(A):$ In a homologous series of alcohols, the formula for the second member is $C _2 H _5 OH$ and the third member is $C _3 H _7 OH$.
Reason$(R):$ The difference between the molecular masses of the two consecutive members of a homologous series is $144 .$
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • $A$ 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.

A homologous series is a series of organic compounds that contains identical functional group and differs only in the length of the carbon chain in the compound.
The general formula for homologous series for alcohols is $C ( n ) H (2 n +1) OH$, where $n$ is a natural number.
Substituting $n=2$ and $n=3$ we get $C _2 H _5 OH$ and $C _3 H _7 OH$ respectively, which verifies the assertion made.
The two consecutive members of the homologous series varies only by a $CH _2$ group, hence the difference in molecular mass of two consecutive members is equal to $14 .$

Reason Alcohol give rise to $CO$ and $H_2O$ when burnt in sufficient air.
  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
     
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

  • If Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
Answer
Correct option: D.
If Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
In the absence of subsidy, there would be very little use of ethanol as a fuel. But those are no the only reasons. Ethanol carries less energy than the same volume of gasoline. Ethanol is also much more hygroscopic than gasoline, absorbing significant amounts of water from air.

The following questions, a statement of Assertion is given by the corresponding statement of Reason. Of the statements, mark the correct answer as.
Assertion Diamond does not conduct electricity.
Reason Diamond has high refractive index.
  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • C
    If Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
  • D
    If Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
Answer
Correct option: B.
If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion. A material’s ability to conduct electricity is determined by the number and mobility of its free electrons.
In diamond, each carbon atom uses all four of its valence electrons to bond with neighboring atoms. That doesn’t leave any electrons free for conducting electricity.
