Identify whether the given statements are true or false.
Statement-I: The word ‘stoichiometry’ is derived from two Greek words — stoicheion (meaning, element) and metron (meaning, measure).
Statement-II: Stoichiometry, thus, deals with the calculation of masses (sometimes volumes also) of the reactants and the products involved in a chemical reaction.
-
A.
Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true.
-
B.
Both the statements are false.
-
C.
Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false.
-
D.
Both the statements are true.
Correct Answer:
D. Both the statements are true.
Explanation:
The term stoichiometry originates from the Greek words stoicheion, which translates to element, and metron, meaning measure. This scientific field focuses on determining the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions, specifically calculating their relative masses and volumes. Since both provided statements accurately describe the etymology and function of stoichiometry, the correct conclusion is that both statements are true.
