Assertion : Staggered conformation of ethane is 12.5 kJ mol-1 more stable than the eclipsed conformation.
Reason : The two conformations of ethane cannot be separated at room temperature.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false.
B.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Staggered conformation is more stable because in this conformation any two hydrogen atoms on adjacent carbon atoms are as far apart as possible and the repulsion between the electron clouds of - bonds of two non-bonded hydrogen atoms is minimum.
The energy difference of 12.55 kJ mol-1 is not large enough to prevent rotation at room temperature as a result it is not possible to seperate the two conformations of ethane.
Assertion : The Dumas method is more applicable to nitrogen containing organic compounds than the Kjeldahl's method.
Reason: The Kjeldahl's method does not give satisfactory results for compounds in which nitrogen is directly linked to oxygen.
