Assertion and reason

Read exercise and reference answers
Questions
  1. Reason
    Dilution lowers the ions per unit volume but raises dissociation per mole.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    Conductivity falls on dilution while molar conductivity rises.
  2. Reason
    Only differences in electrode potential can be measured, so a reference is chosen.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    The standard hydrogen electrode is assigned zero potential.
  3. Reason
    An electrolytic cell drives a non-spontaneous reaction.
    Verdict
    The assertion is false and the reason is true.
    Assertion
    An electrolytic cell produces electrical energy.
  4. Reason
    It involves oxidation and reduction at different sites on the metal.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    Corrosion is an electrochemical phenomenon.
The reason must genuinely explain the assertion. Source: syllabus Chemistry Part I, Ch 2 Electrochemistry.
