NEET Chemistry Solubility Product Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11

Assertion (A): For a sparingly soluble salt, the solubility product constant (K_sp) determines the solubility of the salt in a solution. | Reason (R): K_sp is the equilibrium constant for the dissolution of the salt, and under equilibrium conditions, K_sp equals Q_sp.

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 but R is true.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The assertion is correct as K_sp determines solubility, and the reason correctly explains that K_sp is the equilibrium constant where K_sp equals Q_sp under equilibrium conditions as per the NCERT context.
