हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): The molar heat capacity of a substance is an intensive property. Reason (R): The ratio of two extensive properties is an intensive property. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 1
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation
Molar heat capacity is \( C_m = C/n \). Since heat capacity \( C \) and amount of substance \( n \) are both extensive properties, their ratio is an intensive property.
