Assertion (A): A condensation nucleus concentration must be quoted with a supersaturation.
Reason (R): The number of particles that activate depends on the supersaturation applied.

  • A.A is true but R is false
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the reason gives the necessity. Every particle has its own critical supersaturation, so the number that activate rises with the supersaturation applied - the count at 1 per cent may be several times the count at 0.1. A figure quoted without the supersaturation is therefore uninterpretable, which is why instruments report a spectrum rather than a single number.
