NEET Chemistry (general) Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): The formation of a precipitate of zinc ferrocyanide confirms the presence of Zn 2+ ions.

Reason (R): The solubility product principle states that the ionic product of a salt exceeds its solubility product, leading to precipitation.

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.
