NEET Chemistry Ionic Equilibrium Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In pure water, equilibrium exists between H2O molecules and their ions.
Reason (R): Water can act both as an acid and a base, leading to self-ionization.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is correct as pure water exhibits self-ionization equilibrium between H2O, H3O+, and OH-. The reason correctly explains this phenomenon by stating water's amphoteric nature.
