MCQ
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A$ :Phenolphthalein is a $pH$ dependent indicator, remains colourless in acidic solution and gives pink colour in basic medium

Reason $R$ : Phenolphthalein is a weak acid. It doesn't dissociate in basic medium.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is NOT the correct explanation of $A$.
  • C
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true
  • $A$ is true but $R$ is false

Answer

Correct option: D.
$A$ is true but $R$ is false
d
Phenolphthalein dissociate in basic medium

$HPh ( aq ) \rightleftharpoons H ^{+}+ Ph ^{-}$
