NEET Chemistry Solubility Product Assertion Reason Question
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.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
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.
