Assertion: In solution, amalgam of mercury with sodium is an example of solid solutions.
Reason: Mercury is solvent and sodium is solute in the solution.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true, but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Amalgam of mercury with sodium is an example of solid solutions. It contains a liquid solute and solid solvent. In the amalgam of mercury (liquid metal) acts as solute and sodium as solvent. Thus, assertion is true, but reason is false.
