The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason provided, we need to analyze both statements carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states: "For a basic solution, \([OH^-] > [H^+]\)". - In a basic solution, the concentration of hydroxide ions (\(OH^-\)) is indeed greater than the concentration of hydrogen ions (\(H^+\)). This is a defining characteristic of a basic solution. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states: "For an acidic solution, \([H^+] > [OH^-]\)". - In an acidic solution, the concentration of hydrogen ions (\(H^+\)) is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions (\(OH^-\)). This is also a defining characteristic of an acidic solution. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of Each Statement**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true statements based on the definitions of acidic and basic solutions. - However, we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. 4. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - The assertion about basic solutions does not depend on the reason about acidic solutions. They are related concepts but do not directly support each other. - Therefore, while both statements are true, the reason does not provide a valid explanation for the assertion. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. ### Final Answer: - Both statements are correct, but the reason is not a correct explanation for the assertion.
