NEET Chemistry Solubility Product Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The molar solubility of Ni(OH)2 in water is higher than that of AgCN.
Reason (R): The Ksp value of Ni(OH)2 is greater than that of AgCN.
Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The Ksp value of Ni(OH)2 is 2.0 × 10–15, which is greater than the Ksp value of AgCN (6 × 10–17), indicating that Ni(OH)2 is more soluble. Hence, the reason correctly explains the assertion.
