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 always occupies \( 22.4\text{ L} \) volume at all temperatures and pressures. Reason (R): Volume of a gas depends inversely on pressure and directly on temperature. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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