Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:

Assertion A: In equation rG=-nFEcell value of rG depends on n.
Reasons R: Ecell is an intensive property and rG is an extensive property.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Solution

rG=-nFEcell

In the above function Ecell is an intensive property(mass independent property) and rG is an extensive property(mass dependent property). Hence, rG depends on the number of electrons(n) transferred in the cell reaction.
