Q. Assertion: Standard boiling point of a liquid is slightly higher than the normal boiling point
Reason: $1$ bar pressure is slightly less than $1\, atm$ pressure

AP EAMCETAP EAMCET 2020

Solution:

Assertion it is incorrect because standard boiling point (b.p. at $1$ bar pressure) of a liquid is slightly lower than the normal boiling point (b.p. at $1\, atm$ pressure). It is because 1 bar pressure is slightly lower than $1\, atm$ pressure.
Reason It is correct because
$1\, atm =1.01325\, bar$.
Since, Assertion is incorrect, Reason is correct.
