Assertion : pH of hydrochloric acid solu...

Assertion : pH of hydrochloric acid solution is less than that of acetic acid solution of the same concentration .
Reason : In equimolar solutions, the number of titrable protons present in hydrochloric acid is less than that present in acetic acid.

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 the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
HCl is a strong electrolyte since it will produce more `H^(+)` , comparison than that of `CH_(3)COOH` , Hence assertion is true but reason false .
