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.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The precipitation of zinc ferrocyanide upon addition of potassium ferrocyanide indicates the presence of Zn 2+ ions, and this is explained by the solubility product principle, which governs precipitation.
