Assertion (A): The Clapeyron equation relates the slope of a phase boundary to the latent heat.
Reason (R): Along a coexistence line the molar Gibbs energies of the two phases remain equal.

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

Answer: B

Both are true and the reason gives the derivation: differentiating that equality along the line produces the relation directly, with the volume change of the transition appearing in the denominator. It holds for melting and sublimation lines equally well.
