JEE · NEET Previous Year Question

Assertion (A) : For an endothermic dissolution process, increase in temperature increases the solubility in a nearly saturated solution.
Reason (R) : In saturated solution dynamic equilibrium exists between dissolved solute and undissolved solute.

Topic: JEE PYQ

Answer: B. Full step-by-step solution below.

  1. ABoth (A) and (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of
  2. BBoth (A) and (R) are correct, but is not the correct explanation of
  3. C(A) is correct but ( ) is not correct
  4. D(A) is incorrect but (R) is correct

Correct answer: B

Solution

(b) Increase in temperature in an endothermic dissolution process enhance the kinetic energy of the solvent molecules by allowing them to break apart more efficiently. This results into the more solubility of solute molecules.
