  4. Both A and R are false.
Answer
  1. A is false but R is true.

Explanation:

If the volume is kept constant and an inert gas such as argon is added which does not take part in the reaction, the equilibrium remains undisturbed.

Question 61 Mark
Note: In the following questions a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given\ below each question
Assertion (A): Increasing order of acidity of hydrogen halides is.
HF < HCl < HBr < HI
Reason (R): While comparing acids formed by the elements belonging to the same group of periodic table, H - A bond strength is a more important factor in determining acidity of an acid than the polar nature of the bond.
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. Both A and R are false.
Answer
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

$\frac{\text{H}-\text{F}<\text{H}-\text{Cl}<\text{H}-\text{Br}<\text{H}-\text{I}}{\text{Increasing acidic character}}$

Weaker is the covalent bond, stronger is the acidic character.

Question 81 Mark
Note: In the following questions a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given\ below each question.
Assertion (A): For any chemical reaction at a particular temperature, the equilibrium constant is fixed and is a characteristic property.
Reason (R): Equilibrium constant is independent of temperature.
  1. Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. Both A and R are false.
Answer
  1. A is true but R is false.

Explanation:

  • The equilibrium constant for an exothermic reaction $($negative $\Delta\text{H})$ decreases as the temperature increases.
  • The equilibrium constant for an endothermic reaction $($positive $\Delta\text{H})$ increases as the temperature increases.
