Assertion : The adsorption of water by the solid particles of an adsorbant without forming a solution is known as imbibition.
Reason : The liquid, which is imbibed is known as imbibate.

A

Both the Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

Assertion is true, but Reason is false

D

Assertion is false, but Reason is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In imbibition, the absorption of water by solid particles of an absorbant without forming a solution takes place. Imbibants are solid substances, which take part in absorption, while the liquid, which is absorbed (imbibed) is known as imbibate.
