Reason: $HCl$ will yield hydronium ions as the only positive ions in solution.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of 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
• E. Both Assertion and Reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

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

Statement I: $HCl$ is an Arrhenius acid
Because
Statement II: $HCl$ will yield hydronium ions as the only positive ions in solution
A
True True CE
Note: According to Arrhenius theory, an acid is a substance that which contains hydrogen and produces $H^{+}$ ions in aqueous solution.
$HCl\left(aq\right)\to H^{+}\left(aq\right)+C{l}^{-}\left(aq\right)$
