The correct Answer is:
To solve the given assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both statements carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that when silver ions are added to a mixture of aqueous sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium bromide (NaBr), AgBr will precipitate first, followed by AgCl. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason provided states that the solubility product (Ksp) of AgCl is greater than that of AgBr. 3. **Analyzing the Solubility Products**: - The solubility product (Ksp) of AgBr is given as \(5 \times 10^{-13}\). - The solubility product (Ksp) of AgCl is given as \(5 \times 10^{-10}\). 4. **Comparing Ksp Values**: Since \(Ksp\) of AgCl (\(5 \times 10^{-10}\)) is greater than \(Ksp\) of AgBr (\(5 \times 10^{-13}\)), this indicates that AgBr is less soluble than AgCl. Therefore, AgBr will precipitate first when silver ions are added to the solution. 5. **Conclusion on Assertion**: The assertion is true because AgBr will indeed precipitate before AgCl due to its lower solubility. 6. **Conclusion on Reason**: The reason is false because it incorrectly states that the solubility product of AgCl is greater than that of AgBr. In fact, AgBr has a lower Ksp, which means it is less soluble and will precipitate first. 7. **Final Evaluation**: Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: The assertion is true, and the reason is false.
