Statement -1 HCO(3)^(-) ion can act as a...

Statement -1 `HCO_(3)^(-)` ion can act as a strong base.
Statement -2 `CO_(3)^(2-)` ion can act as a weak base.

A

Statements -1 is true , statement -2 is also true, statement -2 is the correct explanation of statement -1

B

Statement -1 is true , statement-2 is also true, statement-2 is not the correct explanation of statement-1

C

Statement -1 is true, statement -2 is false.

D

Statement -1 is false, satement-2 is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Correct explanation . `HCO_(3)^(-)` ion can act as a strong base because the conjugate acid `H_(2)CO_(3)` is a weak acid
`underset(("Strong"))(HCO_(3)^(-)) +H^(+) hArr underset(("Weak"))(H_(2)CO_(3))`
