Assertion: `CHCl_(3)` is more acidic than `CHF_(3)`.
Reason: The conjugate base of `CHCl_(3)` is more stable than `CHF_(3)`.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explantion of the assertion.

B

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If the assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The conjugate base of `CHCl_(3)` is more stable than conjugate base of `CHF_(3)(CF_(3))`. `C Cl_(3)` stabilized by-`I` effect of chlorine atoms as well as by the electrons. But conjugate base of `CH_(3)(CH_(3))` is stabilized only by-`I` effect of fluorine atoms. Here both assertion and reason are true and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
