Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect Third analytical group of cations include Fe+2,Fe+3,Al+2 and Cr+3. Thus both ferrous and are ferric ions are present. Solubility product is the product of its dissolved ion concentrations raised to the power of their stiochiometric coefficients.
It defines the degree of which the compound can dissociate in water, since ferrous and ferric ions have different degree of dissociation in water. Therefore, they do not have same solubility product.
