Assertion: Addition of silver ions to a ...

Assertion: Addition of silver ions to a mixture of aqueous sodium chloride and sodium bromide solution will first precipitate `AgBr` rather than `AgCl`.
Reason : `K_(sp)` of `AgClltK_(sp)` of `AgBr`.

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
As ionic character decreases in the order `AgCl gt AgBr ` so the e solubility or solubility product also decreases as `K_(sp) " of " AgCl gt K_(sp)` AgBr . So AgBr will precipitate first from the solution.
