Chemistry · Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): One mole of any gas occupies \( 22.4\text{ L} \) volume at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP). Reason (R): Volume of a gas depends only on pressure and is independent of temperature. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false but (R) is true.
