JEE Main Chemistry question

**Statement 1:** Ice Water, if pressure is applied water will evaporate. **Statement 2:** Increase of pressure pushes the equilibrium towards the side in which number of gaseous mole decrease.

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for Assertion
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is False
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is TrueCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

Applying pressure to an ice/water equilibrium favours the denser phase (water, since ice has a larger molar volume), causing ice to melt — not evaporate — so Statement 1 is false. Statement
