Question

Assertion: A gas has a unique value of specific heat.
Reason: Specific heat is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of unit mass of the substance through unit degree.

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion.
• C. If assertion is true, but reason is false.
• D. If both assertion and reason are false.
• E. If reason is true but assertion is false

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

This is because a gas can be heated under different conditions of pressure and volume. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of unit mass through unit degree is different under different conditions of heating.
