Assertion : The aqueous solution of `FeCl_(3)` is basic in nature .
Reason : `FeC1_(3)` hydrolyses in water.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The aqueous sloution of `FeC1_(3)` is acidic in nature because `FeC1_(2)` hydrolyse in water to produce acid ion.
`FeC1_(3) + 3H_(2)O rarr Fe(OH)_(3) + 3HC1`
Therefore, assertion is false but reason is ture.
