Assertion (A) : NaCl is less soluble in heavy water than in ordinary water. Reason (R) : Dielectric constant of ordinary water is more than that of heavy water. The correct answer is
Options
- ABoth (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- BBoth ( A ) and ( R ) are true but ( R ) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- C(A) is true, but (R) is not true
- D(A) is not true, but (R) is true
Correct answer
A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Step-by-step solution
NaCl is less soluble in heavy water than in ordinary water because dielectric constant of ordinary water (i e, 81) is more than that of heavy water (ie, 80).
