NEET2001ChemistryIonic EquilibriumActual
Assertion : Relative strength of acids can be known by knowing the value of dissociation constant. Reason : It gives the value of H ⁺ dissolved in solution.
Options
- AIf both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
- BIf both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
- CIf Assertion is true but Reason is false.
- DIf Assertion is false but Reason is true.
Correct answer
A. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Step-by-step solution
Dissociation consant for : H A H ⁺+A⁻ Can be given as : K_s= [ H ⁺ ] [A⁻ ] [ H A] Therefore, we can say that dissociation constant is a measure of its ability to furnish protons in the solution.
