Assertion(A): The acids must always be added slowly to water with constant stirring.
Reason (R):Dissolving an acid or a base in water in highly exothermic reaction.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false but R is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Explanation: A large amount of heat is produced when strong acid are mixed with water. When water is added to acid, an extremely concentrated soution is formed initially. Thus large amount heat is released that the solution may boil very violently, splashing the acid out of the container.

For the given question numbers, two statements are given one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) as given below- (1) Assertion: While dissolving an acid water, the water an acid in must always be water is a added slowly to acid highly with constant exothermic stirring. Reason: in Dissolving an acid in water is a exothermic reaction.

Assertion (A ) : When an acid or a base is added o water at constant temperature , the pH changes. Reason (R ) : This is due to the change in ionic product of water.

Assertion (A): When small amount of acid or base is added to pure water, its pH undergoes a change. Reason (R) : Addition of an acid or a basic increases the degree of ionisation of water.
