Question

**Assertion (A):** Average molecular mass of a mixture of $N_2$ and $CO$ is always $28$. <br>**Reason (R):** Both $N_2$ and $CO$ have the same molar mass ($28 \text{ g/mol}$).

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

$M_{avg} = \sum \chi_i M_i$. Since $M_1 = M_2 = 28$, any linear combination ($28x + 28(1-x)$) will always equal 28, regardless of the mixing ratio.
