NEET Chemistry Solubility Product Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11

Assertion (A): The solubility of Ni(OH)2 is higher than that of AgCN. | Reason (R): The solubility product (Ksp) of Ni(OH)2 is greater than that of AgCN.

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 Ksp of Ni(OH)2 is 2.0 × 10^-15, which is greater than the Ksp of AgCN, 6 × 10^-17, indicating that Ni(OH)2 is more soluble.
