The following questions consist of two statements one labelled ASSERTION (A) and the another labelled REASON (R). Select the correct answers to these questions from the codes given below:

Assertion : Sulphuric acid is less viscous than water due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Reason : Concentrated sulphuric acid is used as dehydrating agent.

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

The following question consists of two statements one labelled ASSERTION (A) and the another labelled REASON (R). Select the correct answer to the question from the codes given below:

Assertion: In contact process of the manufacture of H2SO4, conversion of SO2 to SO3 by the reaction with oxygen, takes place in the presence of a catalyst V2O5.

Reason: The reaction which involves the conversion of SO2 to SO3, is exothermic, reversible, and the forward reaction leads to a decrease in volume.
