Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) ...
Assertion (A): Electrolytic conduction increases with increase in temperature.
Reason (R): Increase in temperature causes the electronic movement more rapid.
Analysis of Assertion (A)
- True Statement: Electrolytic conduction refers to the conduction of electricity through an electrolyte, which involves the movement of ions.
- Temperature Effect: As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the ions also increases. This leads to enhanced movement of ions, resulting in improved conductivity.
Analysis of Reason (R)
- Partially True Statement: The statement regarding the increase in electronic movement is somewhat misleading.
- Clarification: In electrolytic conduction, the conduction is primarily due to the movement of ions rather than electrons. While temperature does increase the motion of charged particles, it specifically enhances ionic mobility, not electronic movement in the context of electrolytes.
Conclusion
- Correctness of A and R:
- Assertion (A) is true as electrolytic conduction does increase with temperature.
- Reason (R) is false because it incorrectly attributes the enhancement of conduction to electronic movement instead of ionic movement.
- Final Answer: Therefore, the correct choice is (C) - A is true but R is false.
