NEET Chemistry Conductance Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The conductivity of water increases upon the addition of electrolytes. | Reason (R): Electrolytes dissociate into ions which enhance ionic conductance.
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 assertion and reason are both correct. Electrolytes dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, increasing the ionic conductance and thus the conductivity of water.
