A: Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation for the Assertion
B: Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for the Assertion
C: Assertion is true but Reason is false
D: Assertion is false but Reason is true

23. Assertion : The ratio mass/volume is an extensive property.

Reason : Mass and volume are individually extensive properties.

24. Assertion : A reaction which is spontaneous and accompanied by decrease of randomness must be
exothermic.
Reason : All exothermic reactions are accompanied by decreases of randomness.

25. Assertion : Decrease in free energy causes spontaneous reaction.

Reason : Spontaneous reactions are invariably exothermic.

26. Assertion : Heat absorbed during isothermal expansion of ideal gas in vaccum is zero.
Reason : Volume occupied by molecules of ideal gas is zero.

27. Assertion : In any reversible cyclic process, the net change in entropy of the system is zero.
Reason : Because DSuniverse = DSsystem + DSsurr. and in case of reversible cyclic process DSsystem is
positive, but of surrounding is negative in same amount. That is why DSuniverse = 0.
