MCQ
For question two statements are given-one labelled
Assertion $(A)$ and the other labelled
Reason $(R)$. Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $(a), (b), (c)$ and $(d)$ as given below:
Assertion: Strength of the acid or base decreases with dilution.
Reason: Ionization of an acid or a base increases with dilution.
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
  • ✓
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • C
    $A$ is true, but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ is false, but $R$ is true.
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Ionization of an acid or a basic increases on dilution but concentration of $H ^{+}$or $OH ^{-}$ions decreases per unit volume, thus strength of the acid or the base decreases with dilution.
