NEET Chemistry Solubility Product Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The solubility of a sparingly soluble salt is affected by the presence of a common ion.
Reason (R): The solubility product constant (Ksp) changes when a common ion is added to the solution.
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 presence of a common ion affects the solubility of the salt by shifting the equilibrium position, but the solubility product constant (Ksp) itself does not change.
