Assertion (A): A certain recation is cat...

Assertion (A): A certain recation is catalysed by acids and the catalytic activity of `0.1M` solutions of the acids in water decrease in the order, `HCI, HCOOH`, and `CH_(3)COOH`. The same reaction takes place in anhydrous `NH_(3)`, but the three acids have same catalytic effect in `0.1M` solution.
Reason (R) : The order of catalytic activity in water is the same as the order of acidity. in anhyrous `NH_(3)`, all the three acids are strong.

A

If both (A) and (R) are correc, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C

If (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.

D

If (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Both `(A)` and `(R)` are correct and `(R)` is correct explanation of `(A)`.
