NEET Chemistry Solubility Product Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11

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.

A

Both A and R are true, and R explains A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option A

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.
