Assertion : The aqueous solution of `FeCl_(3)` is basic in nature .
Reason : `FeC1_(3)` hydrolyses in water.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The aqueous solution of `FeCl_3` is acidic in nature because `FeCl_3` hydrolyse in water to produce acid ion.
`FeCl_3 + 3H_2O to Fe(OH)_3 + 3HCl`
Therefore, assertion is false but reason is true.
