Assertion (A): `BaCO_(3)` is more soluble in `HNO_(3)` than in water.
Reason (R ): Carbonate is a weak base and reacts with `H^(o+)` ions to form strong acid causing barium salt to dissociate.

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:
A
Barium carbonate is more soluble in `HNO_(3)` than in water because carbonate is a weak base and reacts with the `H^(+)` ion of `HNO_(3)` causing the barium salt to dissociate .
`BaCO_(3)+ HNO_(3) to Ba(NO_(3))_(2)+CO_(2)+H_(2)O` .
