NEET Chemistry (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11
Assertion (A): The equilibrium constant for the ionization of a weak acid is a measure of its strength. | Reason (R): Weak acids have larger ionization constants than strong acids.
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 true but R is false.
D
A is false.
